Neonatal Emergencies and Other Problems, by John Black, M.D., F.R.C.P. New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1973, 282 pp., $14.45

Victor Chernick M.D.1

Although not implicit in the title, this book presents a synopsis of perinatology. The publisher indicates it will be of interest to the house officer, general practitioner and midwife but the author states "the book is intended primarily for those who have the responsibility of the day-to-day care of the newborn infant." The former objective may have been realized but not the latter.

There are twenty-two chapters, beginning with prenatal factors which may influence the newborn infant such as maternal disease, drugs, the infant at risk because of previous abnormal pregnancies, metabolic disorders, and congenital malformations.
