""In an age in which students, residents, and practitioners increasingly-and at times almost exclusively-use online resources such as Up-to-Date and MDConsult, there is great competition for readership. Compared with text-heavy references, Visual Diagnosis provides far easier navigation and ease of use, at the expense of breadth and depth. Compared with popular textbooks combining text and photographs, there is an even further emphasis on textual brevity and table-based thoroughness. Most office-based practitioners who care for children and who do not readily have online access would be well served with this textbook. Even those with ready access to office computers might find great value in the simple availability and quick reference of a high-quality text that could easily be brought into an examination room with the patient and family. The information is accurate and has been updated as best as can be expected for a printed textbook. The book depicts several rare entities, such as Poland Sequence and cystic hygroma, which practitioners may never see but which they should consider and at least compare with the presenting symptoms at hand.""
