This book is a timely addition to the pediatrician's library. The education, practice and philosophy of the specialty of pediatrics are expanding in understanding of and services for the healthy child. The authors, representing five medical specialties and four nonmedical disciplines, offer contributions to the pediatrician for this progress. The relationship between episodes of illness and the health and development of the child is discussed by Dr. Isabelle Valadian. Examples for illustration are taken from children in the Harvard Longitudinal Study of Child Health and Development. Two chapters will serve as reviews of pediatric information for most pediatricians. The first is a summary of the natural development of immunities and the artificial induction of immunities. The second is a clinical description of physiological conditions in the newborn that are consistent with health. Their clarity and simplicity will serve usefully in teaching.

This research monograph is based on dental casts for 184 white children residing in Massachusetts and Delaware. The topics discussed pertain to tooth size, dental arch size, and positional interrelationships of the teeth in the two arches. On each subject, the investigator had available a series of dental casts "covering the transition from the primary to the secondary dentition" (p. 40). The casts were amassed in part at the Center for Research in Child Health and Development, Boston (Dr. Harold C. Stuart), and in part at a public school in Wilmington, Delaware (Dr. Richard H. Stucklen).

National prevalence rates for depression among women are twofold compared with those of men, with women of childbearing age at greatest risk. Maternal depression not only negatively affects the health of the mother but may also influence the health and development of her offspring. This study examined the relationship between maternal depression and its influence on certain maternal behaviors associated with child health. Anationally representative, longitudinal data set with information on demographic, behavioral, and health care variables obtained fromwomen in 1988 and 1991was used. The results from logistic regression modeling indicate that maternal depression is associated with maternal behaviors (i.e., an increased likelihood of engagement in smoking, in not administering vitamins to a child, and not restraining children in appropriate car seats). Moreover, race differentials were found among these relationships. The implications of these results suggest the need to screen for depression among mothers of young children.

A large public tier-1 university hosted an autonomous vehicle on campus for a 12-week demonstration. Throughout the deployment, the vehicle was operated autonomously and used 5 safety operators from the student population to take over shuttle operations, as necessary. Daily and weekly surveys as well as pre-and post-study interviews were used to investigate how operators’ trust developed and changed over time as well as the relationship between trust and operational issues that varied in severity. Results revealed that there was not a significant relationship between trust and severity of operational issues. Trust levels appeared to remain relatively consistent before, during and after the deployment.
