Casper Cambridge University Press, 1998 - 329 pages This book offers an overview of the complex interplay between hormonal activation and individual and environmental influences on health and disease in women.

This is a medically-oriented book written firstly for the practicing physician in primary care, psychiatry, internal medicine and gynecology/obstetrics.
