AB We  celebrate  this  25th  edition  of  Williams  Obstetrics  with  great  appreciation  for  the  insight  and  expertise  that  the  early  editors  brought  to  this  textbook.  To  pay  tribute  to  the  first  author,  J.  Whitridge  Williams,  we  begin  each  chapter  with  a  passage  from  his  1st  edition  that  complements  the  topic.  During  this  selection  process,  we  were  inspired  by  the  strides  that  modern  obstetrics  has  made  since  that  edition  in  1903.  Similarly,  we  were  humbled  by  some  of  the  classic  challenges  that  still  persist.  Preterm  labor,  preeclampsia,  and  infections  are  some  examples.  That  said,  many  of  these  advances  were  derived  from  rigorous,  evidence-based  research.  And,  we  acknowledge  and  support  the  power  of  this  academic  ideal  to  further  our  specialty  in  the  decades  to  come.
