Reviews

"The production values of this book are excellent; it is beautifully produced with loads of illustrations such as pictures, tables and radiological images... the book is so well put together that it is very tempting to simply open it up and read it for the sake of interest, education and curiosity. It is a pleasure to read sections at random and that is a tribute to what an excellent book this is." -Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia

Praise for the First Edition:
"It is beyond comparison with any other textbook available in the market. This is the best paediatric book I have seen in my 24-year paediatric career ... A must read for any paediatric trainee or paediatrician anywhere in the world."
-BMA Medical Book Competition

"This book's cover will never have to be dusted off... [it is an] all encompassing coffer of paediatric knowledge."
-Archives of Disease in Childhood

"Excellent... It is strongly suggested that not only you, but also your colleagues and students, always have it within reach."
-Acta Paediatrica

"Ideal for quick reference... concise and understandable irrespective of the reader's previous level of experience."
-The British Journal of Hospital Medicine

Praise for the First Edition:
"It is well written and easy to read. The cost of GBP63.99 represents good value and this would enhance the bookshelf of any paediatrician, being quicker than an internet search to gain authoritative facts from experts about conditions. I would particularly recommend it for anyone starting out in paediatrics or considering taking the paediatric membership exam. It should more than cover all knowledge needed about medical and surgical conditions and is a handy reference book to dip in and out of as needed."
