  Illustrated Textbook of Paediatrics 2/e covers the core curriculum for undergraduate teaching of clinical paediatrics. The second edition retains the innovative, full-colour design of the first, incorporating numerous colour photographs, diagrams, illustrated case histories and clinical hints tips highlighted by a 'smiley face' icon. The writing style is succinct, with bullet-point lists used to facilitate reading and learning, and the content is pared down to cover what students really need to know and no more. There is one new chapter on The Child in Society covering general issues in child health in developed and developing countries. All the system-based chapters have been thoroughly revised and coverage of ethics, evidence-based medicine and developmental paediatrics has been expanded.

  Following a problem-based approach, this textbook focuses on the presenting signs and symptoms, allowing the reader to think about diagnosis in a practical way. Case studies are included to explain diagnostic or management problems and to keep a clear focus on the patient. After introductory chapters on history and examination, child development, care of the ill child, paediatric emergencies and the environment (including child abuse), the following chapters are devoted to each body system. The text is illustrated with colour photographs, graphics and artwork, which help to fix the concepts of examination and growth and development in the student's mind. Tables, lists and graphs clarify and condense important or complicated information.
