Dealing with Hepatology, this title features the introduction of two world-class editors, Dr Wright of San Francisco and Professor Manns of Hannover Germany.

Now in stunningly full-colour, the radical revision of this classic text sees the introduction of two new truly world-class editors, Dr Wright of San Francisco and Professor Manns of Hannover Germany. In collaboration with Dr Boyer they have radically reorganized and refocused the book. They have carefully selected exciting new contributors from around the world for almost all of the chapters.
