Customer Reviews & Comments I purchased this book about 12 months ago and read the content and reviewed the images. I was dissapointed regarding both its content and format. Although the authors are well known in the pediatric emergency medicine field, this book does not cover many important areas which should have been covered in an atlas format. Instead of preparing focussed text for the images displayed in this book, the authors have derived the text from previous books, Textbook of Pediatric Emergency Medicine and the Synopsis of Pedaitric Emergency Medicine. Threfore, it seems that there is too much irrelavant information in the book including many algorithms, large tables etc. It is no doubt that there are some valuble images but they are camouflaged by long text. In short, this book is not focussed and I do not recommend as an atlas. Atlas of Pediatric Emergency Medicine Available from Amazon Price: $139.00 Updated on 10-16-2008.
