"This book truly represents an international endeavor and a notable contribution to the subject of lung development gone awry from prematurity and prenatal/ postnatal influences. ... chapters are well written, superbly referenced, and yield a lot of food for thought. ... this book should appeal to a host of individuals, especially practitioners of neonatal care, as they pursue the quest of promoting intact survival of the ELGA neonates under their care, free from the wrath of morbidities, including BPD." (J. P. Shenai, Journal of Perinatology, Vol. 37, 2017)

"The purpose is to provide as an up-to-date reference on BPD, to spur new research and improve outcomes for newborns with respiratory disease. These worthy objectives are well met by this comprehensive book. The audience is clinicians and researchers in the area of neonatal respiratory medicine. ... field is advancing quickly and this comprehensive book brings all of the most recent research together in one well-written reference. It should be a welcome addition to the libraries of all clinical neonatologists." (Jay P. Goldsmith, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2016)
