Re: "Mechanisms of Disease"
Now seriously folks, I was joking about running out and buying it. To be clear, the book is a textbook of general pathology (that is, the common mechanisms that underlie all diseases, such as cell injury and necrosis, inflammation, neoplasia and so on). It deals with mechanisms in mammals and has no direct specificity to fish diseases, although there are some commonalities, of course. It is meant as a text for veterinary students and trainees in veterinary pathology. What I'm trying to say is that this is not a book that every aquarist should have on their shelves.
Having made that disclaimer, the full title is: Mechanisms of Disease: A Textbook of Comparative General Pathology", by David O. Slauson and Barry J. Cooper. Third Edition, 2002; Mosby. ISBN: 0-323-00228-5.
Funny, I had not noticed before that the copyright date was 2002. It actually came out a couple of months ago. That's one way to make it look up to date, I suppose.
