The fifth edition of Pathology of the Human Placenta will ensure this book remains the authoritative text in the field. This fifth edition reflects new advances in the field and includes 800 illustrations, 173 of them in color.

This presentation of the diseases of the placenta differs in many ways from the first such treatment in these volumes by the eminent Robert Meyer. Recently, with new emphasis on maternal and fetal health and disease, it has become apparent that knowledge of pathologic changes in the placenta often provides a unique insight into antenatal events.
