New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 23, Issue 353 -- The fourth edition of this book is very different from its predecessors. It is greater in scope and size has three times as many contributors as the third edition. The excellent quality of the writing reflects the stature of the contributors. There are outstanding chapters on inflammation and infection, common and rare corneal disorders, and various forms of corneal surgery. The book is an outstanding achievement and will be a welcome resource for residents in training and established specialist for years to come. Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 28-JAN-06 -- This is a sizeable textbook written by acknowledged world authorities in the field of cornea and external eye disease. The editors have chosen the authors well and generally the book is both well written and readable.
