Reviews

I greatly enjoyed reviewing this book. It includes a wealth of information, and the spirit of practical approach and clinical experience iswell appreciated. I can recommend this handbook as a companion. Neuropediatrics This book is a welcome aid for busy clinicians... Most textbooks today have to compete with online resources but I think that this book, with its pocket-sized format, thorough cross-referencing and tasteful author recommendations, is a match for any website.
