This is a notable, new contribution to the literature on the physiology and pathology of the uterine cervix. The two editors are well known authorities who have contributed extensively to knowledge andunderstanding of various cervical conditions. The list of distinguished contributors who have assisted in the production of the book is a measure of the international standing of the editors. The first six chapters cover the morpho-logical basis of the cervix, giving first the traditional anatomical descriptions and then detailed accounts of the ultrastructure and histochemistry of the cervical tissues. The next section is devoted to an examination of the physiological changes thatoccur in cervical epithelium in the fetus and young girl, during puberty and adolescence, in pregnancy and the puerperium, and at the time of the menopause. Eight chapters are given to a study of the physiology and pathology of the cervix in relation especially to infertility. ProfessorR H Philpott introduces the next few chapters dealing with the structure andfunction of the cervix in pregnancy and labour including the effects of oxytocic drugs and prostaglandins on the pregnant cervix. Discussions of the influence of inflammatory diseases on the cervix (including viral infections) and the management of cervicalinjuries and anomalies precede an extensive examination of the natural history, diagnosis, and management of premalignant and malignant diseases. The 17 chapters concemed with different aspects of cervical malignancy give a superb account of current knowledge of this important subject. The last chapter in this section is an account by Stanley Way of his personal experience of pelvic exenteration in the management of advanced cervical cancer. The editors have been well served by their contributors, who write simply and clearly; their meaning is never in doubt. The text is profusely illustrated, and the comprehensive list of references at the end of each chapter makes this a valuable reference book. The work will appeal particularly to obstetricians, gynaecologists, and pathologists, butit will be of great value to all who have an interest in the structure and function of the cervix in health and in disease.
