Knobil and Neills Physiology of Reproduction - 2 volumes PDF

This new version of Knobil and Neills Physiology of Reproduction is impressive. Ranging from the molecular endocrinology of steroid hormone action to the behavioral physiology of parenting, these volumes cover the gamut of scientific approaches to mammalian reproduction. Each chapter is set properly in the history of its own field and yet referencing is as up to date as it can be for a review project of this magnitude. While some topics have been classically recognized as important, like hypothalamic control of the anterior pituitary and mating behaviors, others are brand new, such as long non-coding RNAs. Scientific and medical libraries will benefit mightily from having access to Plants and Zelezniks new set of review chapters. —Donald W. Pfaff, PhD, Professor Laboratory of Neurobiology and Behavior, The Rockeller University, New York, NY, USA. Once again the editors of Knobil and Neills Physiology of Reproduction have produced an outstanding text and a must have for reproductive and developmental biologists and clinicians. This latest edition contains many new chapters by a plethora of world class authors who provide up-to-dare, succinct and authoritative works—destined to fuel the knowledge base of graduate students and early career researchers and to provide superior updates for established scientists, in areas ranging from germ cell meiosis to epigenetics of reproduction. This is a text that occupies a special niche in Reproductive Biology. —Eileen McLaughlin, B.Sc (Hone), PhD, Professor, Deputy Head, Faculty of Science and Information Technology, The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, Australia.

The Fourth Edition of Knobil & Neill continues to serve as a reference aid for research, to provide the historical context to current research, and most importantly as an aid for graduate teaching on a broad range of topics in human and comparative reproduction. In the decade since the publication of the last edition, the study of reproductive physiology has undergone monumental changes. Chief Knobil and Neill's Physiology of Reproduction: Two …
