Recenzje

"...a nice atlas with very good illustrations and historic pictures. The authors have tried to combine very scientific material with the clinical aspects of transition to extrauterine life....I enjoyed the historical aspects and I think the clinical sections would be quite interesting and informative for the lay public."
