Author Description

This book covers all currently available methods of contraception, and discusses sterilization and abortion in an accurate and accessible way. The second edition has been updated throughout and expanded to include contraception for men and the potential contraception of the future. New information is provided on the Pill and the changing emphasis on barrier contraceptives in the light of AIDS, and the revised chapter on abortion reflects recent changes in the legal scene particularly in the USA. Aimed at those who wish to use contraception intelligently, this book will also serve educational purposes.
