Illustrated textbook of paediatrics (2nd ed)

"Illustrated Textbook of Paediatrics, 2/e" covers the core curriculum for undergraduate teaching of clinical paediatrics.

The second edition retains the innovative, full-colour design of the first, incorporating numerous colour photographs, diagrams, illustrated case histories and clinical hints and tips highlighted by a 'smiley face' icon.

The writing style is succinct, with bullet-point lists used to facilitate reading and learning, and the content is pared down to cover what students really need to know and no more.

There is one new chapter on The Child in Society, covering general issues in child health in developed and developing countries.

All the system-based chapters have been thoroughly revised and coverage of ethics, evidence-based medicine and developmental paediatrics has been expanded.
