NEONATAL AND PEDIATRIC VENTILATION . Edited by D. H. G. Keuskamp , M.D. Boston, Little Brown & Co, 1974, $12.50; 316 pp

Dr. Keuskamp identifies the goals of this publication in his preface, that it is "to reflect current and past experience in the field of neonatal ventilation and display a diversity of opinions" and not to offer "conclusive advice as to how best to ventilate an infant with pulmonary complications." The content of this volume, contributed by 23 outstanding authors, lives up to this stated goal, and the result is refreshingly free from the shoulds and musts which frequently prevail in volumes on this subject.
