Abstract
Five Senior Members of the Hammersmith Hospital (London) Neonatal Research Unit have here produced an excellent and unusual book. They say it originated as the instructions for the unit's resident staff—"revised when too heavily amended by entries in the departmental diary or when superseded by departmental folklore handed down from resident to resident." (What better winnowing of the clinical wheat from the academic chaff?) While offering details necessary for use in a maternity department with a well-staffed and equipped intensive care unit, the practical viewpoint and clear style of the five authors will render their advice immediately useful to any physician, with or without a blood gas analyzer or a thermistor, when faced with a prenatal, perinatal, or neonatal problem.
