Product Description

Review
"I first saw this book and it took me two minutes to decide to buy it. Paediatrics is the first exam I have passed without a viva or re sit and I have to say that the quality of your textbook had a lot to do with it. If I had used the recommended textbook I would surely have failed! The book is clear, concise, has a lot of pictures and brings paediatrics to life. It is also very practical, does not go into too much detail and does not disillusion the student with masses of useless information. If all our textbooks were as good as this, passing med school exams would be far easier." Sushant Varma, University of Sheffield

Product Description
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 & 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars good, not perfect, 3 Jul 2003
By A Customer
The author of the foreword to this book suggests it is the best clinical text ever. Whilst this is a substantial overstatement it is probably the best undergraduate book in paeds. It begins with usful introductory chapters on paeds in general and history and examination then adopts a system based approach for the majority of the book. The text is mostly comprehensive and easy to read though sometimes lacks a scientific explanation for a condition and contains too much waffle. Sometimes critical information is left in a little informaiton box which is too brief and easily missed. Overall, an aduquate read for a 10 week paediatric attachment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average, 22 Sep 2006
By Student (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
2nd edition review (3 stars):
This book is over-rated, especially by the authors. It is colourful, has diagrams and pictures, and is interesting to read, but not very organised in any logical manner and contains a lot of waffle, while it lacks detail on many topics. It does not have an organised approach to the subject and is hard to use as a quick revision tool as it is not at all concise. It is probably better suited as a reference text but even then then structure of the book and lack of detail make it less useful.

3rd edition review (4 stars):
I found the new (3rd edition) of this book much better than the previous one (of which I was not a fan at all). Useful new summary boxes and text is slightly better organised with less irrelevant material and blabbering than the previous one. Pictures and illustrations are excellent as usual. Another welcome new feature is the 'case history' boxes to illustrate actual presentations.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't be sucked in by rumours, 10 April 2005
By A Customer
This book is glorified as the only way to pass paediatric finals and subsequent propagation of this rumour certainly led to many on my rotation being sorely disappointed.

In terms of coverage it clearly contains all that is required to pass paeds finals. But the layout of the book is dire, with an index that sends the reader on a wild goose chase rather than displaying key reference pages. The text is not succint and thus renders it useless as a compact revision aid.

It has clearly been written by authors of enormous clinical experience but the format and consitency mean this experience has not been translated into an effective text.

One section firmly states: 'It is important to differentiate between rigors and febrile convulsions.' yet any indication as to the way to go about this is nowhere to be found.

Ignore the rumours, you will pass with another text, and i suggest you do exactly that.
