520			_a"Capturing the latest developments in this dynamic field - including cloning, embryonic stem cells, and assisted reproduction - Ramon Pinon's textbook is the most up-to-date and useful introduction to human reproductive biology available. Developed from the author's course at the University of California, San Diego, this book is designed as an introductory text for non-science majors. Although its emphasis is on biology, it combines a rich assortment of comparative historical and literary notes with a contemporary inquiry into human sexuality. It may also serve as an intermediate-level text for non-science majors, or an introductory text for students of biology."--Jacket.
