From the Publisher

This text is essential for the pediatric practitioner, whether novice or experienced, generalist or subspecialist. Since it is impossible in a lifetime to have seen every condition or disease, the atlas is the next best thing and allows the reader to feel as though he or she has actually participated in the examination of the child under discussion....It is an extraordinary resource.
