Revised Third Edition of Iconographia Gyniatrica. By Harold Speert. 540 pp., illustrated. New York, Parthenon, 2004. $169.95. ISBN 1-84214-278-X.

Obstetrics and Gynecology: A History and Iconography is the third revised edition of Iconographia Gyniatrica, a comprehensive attempt to tell the history of obstetrics and gynecology through pictures. With more than 1000 illustrations on female anatomy, embryology, midwifery, labor, cesarean delivery, obstetrical instruments, breast-feeding, contraception, and obstetric and gynecologic books, it provides a spectacular report on the medical history of obstetrics and gynecology that could hardly be told just verbally. Every page of this book has something interesting to say and to show.
