Book Reviews
"This book continues to represent the "gold standard" in neonatal neurology. This edition is released six years after the previous edition in 2018 and continues the precedent set in the last edition of having a lead associate editor and five other associate editors assist Dr. Volpe in this project. The text continues to evolve with 41 contributors, five new chapters and an excellent eBook with ten excellent and instructive videos. Dr. Volpe wrote the first five editions of this iconic text solo, and this seventh edition continues to add new insights from the internationally known editors and contributors that Dr. Volpe has recruited to this collaboration." - ©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Jay P.
