Excellent review of basic lung pathology--very good color photos.

Good book. Has all the necessary information. Not to complicated or simple.

Could be better organised though... or at least include a chapter on an approach to various histological patterns

This book is excellent written, in an easy to read and understand format. It is completely revised and improved from the previous edition. All the pictures are color, a lot of tables and bibliographical information. It is concised and focused. It's a great book for the practicing pathologist.

I'm currently doing a rotation in pulmonary pathology at the AFIP, and this was highly recommended (one of 2 books mentioned the first day) by the chair of the department... in fact they have 4 copies in various states of repair on the resident's shelf, next to the WHO tumors book, and Rosai. I've found it to be unusually useful with tons of great basic advice about proper diagnostic techniques, and the importance of getting good clinical histories, with radiographic appearances of specific (and nonspecific) entities. Good pictures. Great descriptions. Highly recommended.
