"NeuroKids" is the innovative answer to the clinical challenges in child neurology as workbook and corresponding app. With the basic idea of mind maps, the classic textbook has been further developed to provide more targeted information. An uniform classification allows a quick orientation: The Paediatric Clinical Scouts (PCS) provide a condensed knowledge overview and are a guide to diagnostic work-up and therapeutic decision-making. The PCS concentrate on the single patient and give professional skills for emergency medicine, for health care of chronically ill children and adolescents and rehabilitative and palliative therapy. The PCS are complemented by a comprehensive, precise, internationally oriented drug register as well as schemes for neurological and developmental neurological examination with the evidence of good practice. "I am very happy that NeuroKids was endorsed and supported by the board of the European Paediatric Neurology Society (EPNS). We sincerely believe this is a major step forward in training and educating young and old paediatric neurologists and are therefore extremely happy to collaborate in this project."

The second edition of The Floppy Infant is devoted to the recognition and diagnosis of the floppy infant syndrome. It includes a review of some of the more important causes and provides a practical approach to the assessment and management such children require. The text of the first edition has been completely revised, but the emphasis has not changed: it remains an immensely practical and up-to-date handbook for the clinician.
