From the Publisher

Male Infertility is aimed at the clinician dealing with the infertile couple (not only the male) because rational, effective management is only possible if the couple are considered together. It provides advice to the clinician and gives reference to the underlying science. This will not only enable clinicians to understand the underlying science but will also give scientists an insight to clinical work. This blend of science and clinical work is reflected in the contributors who are experts drawn from both fields.
