The Abusive Head Trauma Quick Reference is an easy to use field guide, condensed from the hard cover book with CD-ROM Abusive Head Trauma in Infants and Children: A Medical, Legal, and Forensic Reference (Book & CD-ROM) Both titles are essential guides for anyone having to assess and treat head injury cases.
