HATS OFF TO AVERY FOR HONEST ANATOMY!

I would recommend this book for a remarkably simple reason: it is the only US medical text I know of that has the timetable for the desquamation of the male infant and childhood membrane, the balano-preputial lamina, even vaguely correct. It suggests, quite correctly, that this synechia can persist into late puberty. All other US medical books suggest that this membrane should be gone by age 5 or so, which is patently dishonest and based on Douglas Gairdner's error af anatomy of 1949 found in the BMJ. This little bit of convenient dishonesty has meant injury to millions of US boys for over 50 years. Hats off to Avery's for getting this important detail correct!! John V. Geisheker, JD, LL.M.

The bible of neonatology...

Excellent and comprehensive. In-depth coverage of the pathophysiology of the newborn. I would strongly recommend it for anyone interested in the NICU.
