This is an extremely well-written book concerning all aspects of retinopathy of prematurity. While of primary interest to researchers and pediatric ophthalmologists, it is also loaded with information useful to neonatologists and pediatricians.

Also included are some of the medicolegal controversies. The book is well illustrated and has current references.
