Dewhurst's Textbook of Obstetrics and Gynaecology

This time honoured classic has not just had a new coat of paint, it has been re-built completeley. After six editions, the editor has decided that a radical revision is necessary. This plan has been developed as a result of intensive consulation with trainees in ob/gyn as to what they want, what they need and how they learn.
