With the publication of the fourth edition of this already comprehensive and excellent textbook, the author has further entrenched himself as an established authority in his field of specialty. The new edition discusses the developmental anomalies, traumatic, inflammatory and neoplastic disease processes, and adds much new material on the influence of the endocrines on osseous development and maturation. The book is divided into two sections, the first presenting the rediographic pathology of bone from a regional standpoint and the second section presenting much valuable material on diseases which produce a more generalized skeletal involvement. The illustrations and diagrams are of excellent quality and are arranged to complement the written text in excellent order. There are 38 pages of index and bibliography, which make the subject material readily available to the reader.
