From the reviews:
"The book is simple enough that someone without much experience in this area can turn to a chapter and read it and understand it, but detailed enough to allow specialists to benefit from reading it. The book covers everything from IVF laboratory equipment and embryo culture methods to cryopreservation and embryo transfer methods. I particularly appreciate that an abstract begins each chapter and a conclusion/summary ends each chapter. ... a good-quality book with a unique focus on laboratory techniques that not all providers understand." -- Julie S. Rhee, Doody's Review Service, August, 2012
