"This is the sixth edition...of this now tested quick reference guide which has become the preferred pocket reference for students and residents working in newborn medicine....The section of on-call problems, unique to this type of manual, reviews over 30 problems that might confront on-call physicians at night or on weekends....This is the best of the softcover, quick reference guides in neonatology....It is updated frequently and each edition becomes more comprehensive without becoming unwieldy....This one is the best of the general handbooks especially as an on-call reference."--
