Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"It is good news that Johns Hopkins University Press continues to support frequent new editions of this classic reference. I have no reservations about coming up with the price of the book every three years or so. There is many a journal the subscription price of which far exceeds $30/year that does not get a fraction of the use of my Shepard." -- Reproductive Toxicology

Scialli, M.D., Reproductive Toxicology, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"A book that is familiar to many teratologists and should be familiar to all... The first edition of the catalog was a noble achievement and the subsequent editions have each embodied major improvements. [Shepard] deserves our support and help in continuing to update, improve, and expand hoped-for future editions." -- Teratology, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"A useful and exhaustive key to the literature." -- Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"A powerful shortcut through an enormous literature." -- Reproductive Toxicology, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"An important continuing contribution to the field of teratology from an individual widely recognized as an expert in his discipline." -- DICP, The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, reviewing a previous edition or volume
"Champions of the electronic age claim that reference books are now outdated, to be replaced by online databases and CD-ROMs....This new edition of a well-known and comprehensive catalog shows that there is still a place for high quality, well indexed, and up-to-date reference books... I would recommend this book for its breadth of entries and clarity of presentation. It shows that there is still a place for a good book in a world of electronic information." -- Journal of Medical Genetics, reviewing a previous edition or volume
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
