Even 10 years ago, a stunning volume on ambulatory pediatrics such as this would have been impossible. This volume mirrors the increased interest in the ambulatory patient and his problems. In spite of many difficulties in space, funds, prestige, and so forth in out-patient pediatric divisions, a volume such as this is evidence that ambulatory pediatrics "has come of age." From the enthusiastic introduction by Dr. Janeway to the index, this volume is beautifully assembled and edited.
