Ardent Media,U.S. Contraceptive Technology

I found this book extremely helpful during my ob rotation as a nurse practitioner student. Any information you could possibly be looking for about contraception, from abstinence and fertility awareness based methods to medical and surgical abortions and everything in between is in this book. I found it easy to read and quite interesting. It is based on research and all references are readily available at the end of each chapter. It also has links to web sites that are extremely helpfull. I would recommend it to anyone interested in womens health and contraception. The newest version was published in 2008 and therefore relatively up to date. Highly recommended!!

Great book! Everything you need to know about contraceptives....helpful as an RN and NP student. Will hold on to this for a long time

Contraceptive Technology is a must-have reference for anyone interested in birth control. As a freelance medical writer/editor, I have used several revisions of this useful book over the years. I was very pleased when the long-awaited 19th revised edition was finally available. I had preordered the book directly from the publisher, who didn't follow through. Amazon, however, got me the book in record time.

Contraceptive Roadmap. But I was not impressed by the CD. I was hoping for extra resources, instead the CD is exactly like the book and you have to have internet access to log into the CD each time.

Overall it was fairly comprehensive. I did find some errors reguarding STI. The topics were easily divided and I was able to access them easily.Tarrie Franke
