Books can be separated into two categories: those that are exploratory and forward looking, that propose to define new pathways and to ‘‘change the way we think about a topic’’ and those that are exploratory and forward looking. This book is a good blend of both types. Its subject matter is oxidative stress in women health. Oxidative stress and how to prevent its impact on human diseases has become a hot scientific and clinical topic over the last decade. There is mounting evidence that oxidative stress or an imbalance in the oxidant/antioxidant activity in female organs and tissues plays a pivotal role in the development of infertility, cancer, and placental-related diseases of pregnancy.
