Produktbeschreibung

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

L. Emmett Holt, an eminent figure in the field of pediatrics, significantly contributed to child healthcare with his pioneering book, 'The Care and Feeding of Children.' This work, first published in 1894, became a standard guide for parents and medical professionals alike, and has had numerous editions since its initial release. Dr. Holt took a scientific and practical approach to child-rearing, which distinguished him during a time when empirical evidence in pediatrics was often overshadowed by tradition and anecdote. Born on March 4, 1855, in Rochester, New York, Holt obtained his medical degree from the University of Rochester in 1877. Following a distinguished academic and clinical career, he served as Professor of Diseases of Children at the New York Polyclinic Medical School and later at Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. His work emphasized the importance of nutrition, hygiene, and the gradual introduction of solid foods, steering a departure from the less structured approaches prevalent before his time. Dr. Holt was also instrumental in establishing standards for pediatric residency programs and was a founding member of the American Pediatric Society. His literary style, characterized by clear, concise instructions and a compassionate tone, endeared him to his readers. Holt's 'The Care and Feeding of Children' remains a seminal text in the history of pediatrics, a testament to his lasting impact on the field.
