Synopsis:

Unique, unparalleled, the first of its kind - you've heard it all before. Filled with illustrations using advanced techniques such as transmission and high resolution scanning electron microscopy, An Atlas of Menopausal Aging rises above the hyperbole. Over 200 color 3-D microanatomy photographs and over 50 black and white illustrations Never before published images taken directly from Pietro M. Motta's and Sayoko Makabe's personal libraries Expert commentary that documents and describes the significance of the physiological changes shown Join the authors on a compelling journey thorough the microworld and evolution of the menopause. Dramatic ultrastructural pictures illustrate this milestone in female life and provide extraordinary visual insight into the physiology of menopausal change. About the authors: Pietro M.
