Fraser and Pare's Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest, 4 vol. set

The 4th Edition of Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest remains one of the pre-eminent reference texts in its field. Extensively revised and generously illustrated, this 4-volume set provides precise, state-of-the-art discussions of epidemiology, pathogenesis, pathology, pathological-radiological correlations, and clinical manifestations of pulmonary disease.
