Product Review
This work represents authoritative academic scholarship at its best. It is outstanding in its artful combination of cross-cultural scope and depth of presentation in delineating the emergence of a unique scientific body of knowledge from its historical roots, focusing on the contributions of individuals to that rich heritage. The work is both interesting and informative and employs a very reader-friendly narrative style.An essential acquisition for all libraries serving the educational needs of physicians as well as other health care disciplines involved in care for children. Graduate students through professionals.Choice
Apart from being most readable, and valuable for reference, this work should be useful for teaching purposes since it illustrates and locates such a variety of source material. Not only medical students but also those from other disciplines, including the social sciences, will find here analysis and samples of pediatric writings that will inspire them to furthur research. The Colons are to be congratulated for tackling such a diffuse topic and thus making a general history of pediatrics once again available.Bulletin of History of Medicine
Nurturing Children: A History of Pediatrics is a fascinating look at the world of pediatric medical practices from archeological record to modern times. There are few books that cover the history of pediatric medicine and none that provide as broad an overview of the field as this title does. The breadth of coverage is one of its strongest assets of this title.The text contains a plethora of facts about people and medical texts, while also including interesting facts and asides, some more graphic that others, that graphically illustrate historical points.While the audience for this title is definitely those in the medical professions or students of medicine, there is plenty to interest the layperson.This title would be a highly recommended addition to any health science collection and would also have an audience in research institutions not affiliated with medical schools.E-Streams
In this ambitious and highly readable book, A.R. Colon and P.A.

In providing us with this exceptional historical perspective on children, family, and community, the authors have written elegantly and extensively on a subject that is truly mind broadening.European Business Review
Scholars will find it useful if they need a brief synopsis of the accomplishments and beliefs of significant pediatric practitioners in history of if they need a brief overview of children's health and medicine in a particular area of the world or during a particular era.ISIS
