Reviews

A book that is familiar to many teratologists and should be familiar to all... The first edition of the catalog was a noble achievement and the subsequent editions have each embodied major improvements. - Teratology I continue to buy the latest bound edition of Shepard's Catalog on a regular basis. In fact, I make sure I have several copies available so I am never too far away from the Catalog. - Reproductive Toxicology An important continuing contribution to the field of teratology from an individual widely recognized as an expert in his discipline. - DICP, The Annals of Pharmacotherapy Tailor-made for teratologists and could be considered a 'must have' for anyone providing genetic counseling to expectant parents. - Doody's Review Service
