Description
This is a comprehensive textbook of paediatrics that describes childhood disease within the context of social determinants of illness,
such as genetic origins and social factors. The emphasis is on differential diagnosis from a presenting-problem viewpoint, making it
suitable for any problem-based learning style of curriculum. The new 6th edition is more comprehensive and more concise; the clinical
focus is made even stronger with clinical examples. There are more images, and the full text is online at StudentConsult, along with
self-assessment, further reading and web links.
