Practical Pulmonary Pathology: A Diagnostic Approach

Rating:
Summary: Great for anyone with an interest in pulmonary pathology
Review: For any physician involved with lung biopsies or lung specimens, this book is a must! Lavishly illustrated, meticulously referenced, with scholarly text and very clear pictures, you will be using it for years. I am a hematopatholgist without too much knowledge of lungs and often need help with lung specimens. This book is very good for that. Need pictures for education or conferences? This book is a wonderful resource. Good for pathologist and pulmonologists alike. It's expensive but as pathology books go these days, it's a good value.

Summary: Best available desk help
Review: This is the best book to help a practising pathologist to sign out lung surgical and medical specimens. Finally a book that shows, explains and has conceptual grouping of pathology of the lung in a manner now seen in so many outsdanding books in other disciplines of pathology (skin or gi come to mind). Complete, helpful, completely illustrated. I will not need the other 6 textbooks that are gathering dust on my shelf any more. Expensive? perhaps but in line with the cost (exorbitant) of all good pathology books (will we ever see something good for less than 200$ anymore?).
