Abstract
This book is a timely addition to the pediatrician's library. The education, practice and philosophy of the specialty of pediatrics are expanding in understanding of and services for the healthy child. The authors, representing five medical specialties and four nonmedical disciplines, offer contributions to the pediatrician for this progress. The relationship between episodes of illness and the health and development of the child is discussed by Dr. Isabelle Valadian. Examples for illustration are taken from children in the Harvard Longitudinal Study of Child Health and Development. Two chapters will serve as reviews of pediatric information for most pediatricians. The first is a summary of the natural development of immunities and the artificial induction of immunities. The second is a clinical description of physiological conditions in the newborn that are consistent with health. Their clarity and simplicity will serve usefully in teaching.
