The new edition of this canonical text on male reproductive medicine will cement the book's market-leading position. Practitioners across many specialties - including urologists, gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, medical endocrinologists and many in internal medicine and family practice – will see men with suboptimal fertility and reproductive problems. The book provides an excellent source of timely, well-considered information for those training in this young and rapidly evolving field. While several recent books provide targeted 'cookbooks' for those in a male reproductive laboratory, or quick reference for practising generalists, the modern, comprehensive reference providing both a background for male reproductive medicine as well as clinical practice information based on that foundation has been lacking until now. The book has been extensively revised with a particular focus on modern molecular medicine. Appropriate therapeutic interventions are highlighted throughout.

Reviews & endorsements
"Since it was first published in 1983, this book has served as the primary reference in andrology and male infertility and has kept its readers abreast of developments in this rapidly advancing field. Each of the 41 chapters is authored by leaders in the basic and clinical sciences of reproductive medicine....The well-organized, comprehensive design of this book speaks strongly for the objectives implicit in the editors' mission. It sets forth the cooperative role of urologists, partnering with reproductive endocrinologists and embryologists, in the application of assisted reproductive techniques to achieve pregnancy in hopelessly infertile couples. In a parallel manner, it presents contemporary advances in the genetics and laboratory diagnosis of sperm dysfunction....This is an essential reference for urologists, endocrinologists, gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, and clinical embryologists. More than any other book in the field, it presents the entire spectrum of clinical assessment, laboratory diagnosis, and treatment of the infertile male with an array of medical, surgical, and laboratory techniques."
