Friedman (medicine, Yale Univ.) includes descriptions on 228 disorders, diseases, and conditions affecting children, ranging from the familiar to the rare ones… Descriptions, ranging from half a page to two pages, list synonyms for the disease and the body systems involved, followed by full contact information for support groups … Recommended for public and consumer health libraries.”
-Library Journal
“Provides a brief, easy to read description of over 200 different pediatric disorders as well as contact information for support groups and resources to aid those affected by these disorders… The value of this directory as a resource far exceeds any real or perceived deficiency that one can identify (e.g., lack of a topic or missed listing). It is a difficult task for the editor and staff to keep the directory current but they do a remarkable job. This directory will continue to serve its intended audience very well.”
