The surprisingly beautiful 3-D color photos of this atlas illustrate the main morphophysiological events of female reproductive aging as these are seen using transmission and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy. Among the subjects photographed are the inner and outer surfaces of organelles, cells, tissues, organs, and bone--the latter as it alters after menopause. Color has been added to the photos to highlight different features. Motta (d.2002) formerly taught human anatomy at the U. of Rome "La Sapienza", Italy. Makabe is in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Toho U., Tokyo, Japan.Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Description
Unique, unparalleled, the first of its kind - you've heard it all before. Filled with illustrations using advanced techniques such as transmission and high resolution scanning electron microscopy, An Atlas of Menopausal Aging rises above the hyperbole.·Over 200 color 3-D microanatomy photographs and over 50 black and white illustrations ·Never before published images taken directly from Pietro M. Motta's and Sayoko Makabe's personal libraries·Expert commentary that documents and describes the significance of the physiological changes shownJoin the authors on a compelling journey thorough the microworld and evolution of the menopause. Dramatic ultrastructural pictures illustrate this milestone in female life and provide extraordinary visual insight into the physiology of menopausal change. About the authors:Pietro M.

He published 350 papers, 50 invited articles in journals and edited volumes, 37 books on microscopic and macroscopic anatomy of reproductive, digestive, and cardiovascular systems and embryology. His awards include: six times Medical Doctor "Honoris Causa": University of Trujillo (Peru); University of Oradea (Romania), University of Timisoara (Romania), University of Iasi (Romania), University of Lisboa (Portogallo) and University of Constanta (Romania). He was on the Editorial Board of 27 national and international journals.
