Development of the brain and the emergence of the mind constitute some of the most important concerns of contemporary biology. Disturbances during fetal life may have profound implications for a child's future neurological and psychological development, which can in turn impact society. The new edition of this highly respected work presents a comprehensive review of the basic mechanisms of brain development and the pathophysiology of disorders of the infant brain, written by a team of distinguished neuroscientists, neonatologists, and neuropediatricians. The book follows the main milestones of brain development, from formation of the neural tube and wiring of the neurons in the brain. Neurotrophic factors, neurotransmitters, glial cell biology, cerebral circulation development of sensory functions are all described in detail. Furthermore, there are more philosophical chapters on the evolution of the brain and the emergence of consciousness. Clinical considerations are highlighted where relevant.

Nowhere is the complex relation between inflammation and disease more apparent than in pregnancy. From the immune adaptation necessary for a mother to tolerate a genetically different fetus through gestation, to the role of inflammatory mediators in abnormalities of pregnancy such as pre-eclampsia and premature delivery, it is clear that inflammation plays a vital role in determining pregnancy outcome. In this authoritative text, an international panel of prestigious authors explores the complex relationship between inflammation, the mother, placenta and fetus. Providing comprehensive coverage by discussing both basic sciences and clinical applications, the book also ensures wide appeal by presenting a synthesis of the maternal and fetal aspects of immunological disorders in pregnancy.The only recent work on the subject in this fast-moving field, Inflammation and Pregnancy is relevant to a wide range of scientists and clinicians with an interest in inflammation, early pregnancy, placental development, pre-eclampsia, pre-term delivery and fetal/neonatal development.
