The book will serve as an excellent guide to thediagnosis of these diseases, but in addition it explains the disease mechanismsand etiology. Genetics and molecular biology are alsodiscussed whenever necessary for a full understanding. The author is aninternationally recognized expert who runs courses on lung and pleuralpathology attended by participants from all over the world.
