Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Recently, we found that our daughter suffers from a severe nut-allergy. Looking at the available literature, we turned to `Asthma Allergies Children' because it seemed to strike a nice balance between three things we felt we needed. First, it provides enough of the scientific and medical background to be genuinely informative without swamping you with needless detail (we had a working knowledge of allergies before, but actually learned a lot from the book). Second, it is quite readable and provides striking real-life anecdotes to underscore theoretical points (nothing puts you in the requisite frame of mind so much as hearing what an anaphylactic shock feels like from the perspective of a child experiencing it). Third, the book is full of useful practical advice for parents of a child with asthma or allergies (get yourself a really nice vacuum cleaner and use it--daily if you can!). What we couldn't have known in advance is the wit and, more importantly, the utter humanity that shines through on every page of the book. It is written not only by professionals in the field but by parents and grandparents with a true understanding of the human cost of asthma and allergies. The book has become a constant reference point for our own evolving understanding of our daughter's affliction. We couldn't recommend it more.
