Review
“This is a high quality book with useful information presented in a well thoughtout and logical sequence. The handbook format provides an advantage over similar publications, allowing practitioners to carry it in the field. It provides a simple approach to areas such as craniometrics with enough detail to make it a great clinical tool.”–Doody’s
Book Description
Updated and revised, this is a comprehensive sourcebook of reference data for health professionals involved in evaluating people with abnormal features or syndromes. It includes many graphs, tables, and charts needed by clinicians to define normal patterns of growth and provides standards of comparison for possible congenital abnormalities. Numerous “how-to” illustrations give the step-by-step guidance needed to ensure that standardized measurements are properly taken for accurate recordkeeping. Designed for ease of use, the pocket-sized book has a durable plastic cover, making it ideal
for use in the ward or clinic.
