As an anatomy professor at the Yale School of Medicine, Crelin noticed there was a major omission from textbooks: there were none on the anatomy of the newborn. His 1969 textbook Anatomy of the Newborn was the first to chart those waters; that, and the 1973 follow-on Functional Anatomy of the Newborn, are still the primary reference works in the field, helping improve health care in newborns. Crelin also was fascinated by human speech. His research found that our vocal abilities developed between 500,000 years and 1 million years ago. He died June 21 at age 81.

List Price: $299.00 Amazon Price: $274.24 Editorial Review: Fetal and Neonatal Pathology is the Fourth Edition of what has become the classic reference in the field of fetal and neonatal pathology. Fully revised and up-dated, the book retains the overall format of previous editions, presenting the same practical approach to the examination of both fetuses and perinatal deaths. It provides essential clinical and pathophysiological information and discusses the pathogenesis of abnormalities as a basis for appropriate methods of investigation. Part 1 deals with the examination of the products of conception after the termination of pregnancy for fetal anomalies. The range of pathological abnormalities is described and their relevance discussed. Special attention is paid to the differences in pathological findings of specific conditions between the second and third trimesters. Part 2 is organised by system, describing and illustrating those pathological problems which are likely to be encountered in the fetus and neonate. Each chapter is introduced by a concise account of the development of the relevant system. There is also a discussion, as appropriate, of changes at birth as well as changes in normal function that may occur during the neonatal period. Fetal and Neonatal Pathology, while primarily addressing the morbid anatomist and histopathologist, also provides a valuable source of reference for obstetricians, neonatologists and paediatricians. Its value as a working tool is enhanced by effective cross-referencing, by chapter and page number, and a detailed index.  By: Edmund S. Crelin List Price: $15.00 Amazon Price: $15.00 Editorial Review: The need for accurate information about the anatomy of the newborn infant led to the publication in 1968 of Dr. Crelin's large and detailed atlas, the first of its kind. The present volume is a synopsis of that atlas. Professionals and paraprofessionals who deal with the newborn will find it a highly useful and convenient reference. |
