✦ Synopsis

In this third edition of what has become one of the classic textbooks in specific organ pathology, foreword and preface mention that scientific progress and changing views lead to revised nomenclature and that this edition therefore remains 'a progress report rather than a final dogma'. In this respect, there is nothing special about the book: almost by definition, no scientific text will ever be the final dogma. The book is special, however, in its often undogmatic approach, in its comprehensive character, yet without an undigestible mass of text, in the immense wealth of information that has been systematically brought together in this volume and in the uniformly high quality of the production, exemplified in the illustrations.
