Making up for distances

I'm a brazilian medical student and about 2 years ago I was recommended this book from a Pediatrics Professor, long after his classes were over I still insisted on buying it and didn't regret. It's contents are more than excelent as well as the format of the book itself. Loads of pictures, loads of colors. Simply Fantastic!
