| Summary |
"This book fills a gap in the available books currently for use by health care professionals at both pre-registration and post-registration level, and provides a valuable insight into the biological development of a child. This will be ideal for professionals and students of children's nursing, paediatric medicine and the professions allied to medicine who focus on the care of children."--BOOK JACKET |
