Beschreibung
"While many reviews have been written about the technical aspects of male reproductive research, this book explores the complex, associated social factors. It deserves to be read by all involved in the field and by all those who ask 'Why have women had so many contraceptive options for so long while men have so few?'"--Geoffrey M. H. Waites, former manager of the Male Task Force of the World Health Organization's Human Reproduction Programme
