FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly Until 20 years ago, most reproductive technology focused on the prevention of pregnancy. Couples who wanted children but who were having difficulty conceiving had few options outside of adoption. But procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) have changed the course of infertility treatment. Today, according to the authors, more than 270 IVF centers exist in the U.S., and more than 10,000 ``miracle'' babies have been born. This volume offers 12 examples of couples who have successfully beaten their infertility problems. Goldfarb, an obstetrician and gynecologist who specializes in helping wannabe parents to conceive, culls from his medical practice couples who illustrate different causes of infertility: endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease and partner-to-partner allergies where the woman's antibodies are directed against her partner's sperm. All of the case histories described end happily with the birth of a baby (and, sometimes, even more than one). Wiley, John & Sons, Incorporated 0-471-55706-4 / 9780471557067
