The Great Ormond Street colour handbook of paediatrics and child health

摘要

Charles Dickens was not only a neighbour of Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) but also one of its first celebrity supporters and a friend of Dr Charles West, the inspiration behind the hospital. Dickens publicised GOSH in his popular Household words magazine. If only he could see how the hospital he so publicly supported has produced a supreme yet compact textbook and atlas, which has provided these "Facts" in such a digestible way.The book is unique in combining both reference text and over 1100 colour illustrations and photographs; as the foreword claims - a seemingly unrivalled collection. This beautiful production is largely testimony to the vast wealth of expertise and accumulated experience behind the book. Seventy three authors, mostly either previous trainees Or consultants at GOSH, have collaborated together to encompass an expanse of medical and surgical specialties.
