Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Those who have developed a facility for researching information on the internet and determining which sources are legitimate and reliable will find little to take away from this book. Those who find this book useful should not be lulled into thinking that this is a comprehensive guide, either; it is not. It doesn't help that the editors themselves appear to have little to do in the field of skeletal dysplasias. Taking the time to develop skills for researching information whether it's in a brick-and-mortar library or in the Internet is far more rewarding in the long run. If nothing else, you'll find that there are important works not mentioned in this book that should have been.
