Review
"Books of this size and significance are simply not written anymore by a single author. One must admire the effort and dedication of Professor Corrin, his meticulous perfectionism, and his devotion to beauty that pathologists periodically discover in their specimens...the text is comprehensive, informative, and authoritative."-Modern Pathology
"Though this book is written specifically for histopathologists, clinicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary disorders would be well served with the information in this book. (...) An accompanying CD-ROM makes this makes this 989-page textbook more portable and allows the user easier access to the information. Pathology of the Lungs is a useful reference book for histologists, pathologists, bronchoscopists and others who need to interpret lung pathologic results." - Advance for Respiratory Care Practitioners, May 29, 2006
