"I have been board certified in neonatology for over 30 years and this is by far the best done and most extensive collection of newborn images I have seen."

Bill Walsh, MD Professor of Pediatrics

"This text is an excellent collection of photographs of a variety of conditions that are seen in the otherwise well neonate. It is an essential text in any newborn regular care nursery, well child clinic, and primary care office."

Basil Zitelli, MD Professor of Pediatrics

"I am of the opinion that this book should be present in every nursery and over time will become a 'classic.' "

Avroy A. Fanaroff, MD Professor of Neonatology
