Summary: "We were delighted to have been approached to provide a second edition of Fundamentals of Children and Young People's Anatomy and Physiology. A Textbook for Nursing and Healthcare Students. We have been inspired by the comments and reviews readers have made with regards to the first edition of this popular text. The second edition has been totally revised and reviewed ensuring that the contents are up to date, reflect best available evidence and is child and young person centric. This second edition retains the user-friendly features that were so well reviewed in the first edition. Clear and full colour illustrations are used again so as to promote learning, encourage retention and apply to practice."--
