The Contraception Sourcebook by Peggy Tatum (Syracuse, N.Y. United States)  5 Stars
February 10, 2002
This book is a comprehensive review of contraception, past, present, and future. It is well written and organized, in a style that is easy to ingest and with the occasional droll aside. I particularly enjoyed the "History of Contraception" chapter and the provocative chapter entitled "The Current Status of Contraception." There are many misconceptions about contraception. Dr. Connell provides the consumer with important information so they are not misled by the inaccuracies in media reporting. A "must read" for all couples of childbearing age.

The Contraception Sourcebook by Betty Connell 5 Stars
January 08, 2002
This very enjoyable--and approachable--book helps make sense of the confusing world of contraception. I found myself chuckling in amazement at some of the ways we humans have tried to control childbirth throughout history. The information about today's contraceptive methods is accurate and easy to understand. Highly recommended.
