With the development of assisted reproductive technology, it is clear that multiple births are becoming more and more commonplace. This atlas is an invaluable contribution towards enhancing and elucidating the care provided to mothers of multiples who, together with a wider audience of fathers, medical students, clinicians and, of course, multiples themselves, will undoubtedly benefit from this unique and informative work. The book contains three parts. The first is a classical description of twins with emphasis on normality vs abnormality; the second is a 'how-to' section written specifically to demystify the clinical tests and examinations undertaken, and the third section covers specific examples of the pleasures as well as the difficulties accompanying the diagnosis of zygosity of multiple births.
