Description and Table of Contents
Description
The purpose of this volume is to present material from reliable sources in a compact, convenient form, handy and quick reference and restricted to aspcts of growth and development likely to be most required by medical practitioners dealing with children. The data is presented mainly in the form of charts and tables representing normal values with an indication of the range which may be expected within a British population. "...it is difficult to imagine any doctor who is concerned with child health being able to resist buying it for daily reference." BMJ > on the First Edition "I can recommend it without hesitation for use by paediatricians." Br. J. Hospital Med. > on the First Edition "All paediatricians will find it helpful to have a copy handy for ready reference." The Lancet > on the First Edition.
