Die Herausgeber haben es 1m Rahmen eines work-shops versucht, die Pathologle und PathophysiologIe sowle die Khmk des akuten Lungenversagens unter emen Hut zu brmgen. Dabel wlrd der PathologIe der Schocklunge groBer Raum und Beachtung geschenkt. Die ausfuhrlich zum Tell kontrovers daruber gefiihrte DiskusslOn ist fUr den Pathologen lehrrelch zu lesen. Auch wenn man mit dem mhilistlschen Konzept der Schocklunge mcht emverstanden 1st, so kann der pulmonologisch onentlerte Pathologe daraus lernen.

Die Aufmachung, Gbederung und Abbildungsqualitat des vorliegenden Buches smd sehr gut, was uber den etwas hohen Preis hinwegtrostet.

The second edItIon of this book has maintamed the successful approach of the fIrSt edItIon. The first two chapters present the mstruments and techmques of endoscopy and bIOpsy and cytology of the upper gastromtestmal tract.

The authors have succeeded m brmgmg together both clInical and morphologic aspects as well as both text and illustratIOns m a nearly Ideal form.
