Mitchell-Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics

Abstract

The reviewer considers this fifth revised edition the best textbook in pediatrics for the medical student and an excellent reference for the pediatrician and general practitioner. The author has shown wise discernment in choosing the sixty-three specialists to write the various sections of the book. The editor and his collaborators have done an excellent piece of work in encompassing in one volume the various aspects of child care and in incorporating the more recent advances and thought in pediatrics. Where information is controversial, the contributors have made a commendable effort to make the reader aware of the differences in thought and practice. There is a list of references at the end of each section. The textbook is of good quality material, the type is legible and the illustrations are well selected.
