Diseases of the Newborn
Every student of pediatrics has felt the need for a comprehensive collection of clinical information regarding the newborn infant. This is undoubtedly the best book on the subject to appear in English. It is the product of long years of experience of a discriminating clinician. The author makes no claims to have done justice to the basic physiology and biochemistry of the newborn infant; these aspects are probably best handled in separate monographs. The author set out at first to prepare an atlas of clinical disorders, but he was inevitably drawn into providing descriptive accounts of both the conditions that could be pictured and those that could not. Thus the volume is profusely illustrated and contains adequate clinical descriptions of every situation the practitioner is likely to encounter.
