“This is a clinically focused practical textbook geared towards learners and trainees in neonatal medicine. Each chapter takes a case-based approach to common clinical scenarios in the neonatal intensive care unit, using questions, tables, and graphics throughout the text to highlight key learning points…. [It] provides a contrast to a number of reference texts in neonatal medicine, which provide comprehensive knowledge regarding a wide range of topics…. The text incorporates summary tables, graphics, and images throughout to emphasize important concepts. Writing is easy to read and understand because of its focus on clinically relevant and practical knowledge…. The book provides a good fund of clinical knowledge, reviewing relevant literature when appropriate and providing a good number of references…. an excellent book for learners and trainees in neonatal-perinatal medicine…. I recommend this book to trainees in neonatal medicine, especially neonatal medicine fellows and nurse practitioners.” Review by Maradith Skalak, MD (Tulane University School of Medicine), ©Doody’s Review Service, 2025.
