    This is an encyclopedic textbook of gastroenterology. This book is designed to provide a practical approach to problems in gastroenterology, to be an encyclopedic reference, and to track the scientific basis of gastroenterology. These objectives are worthy, and the book meets them. This book is written for gastroenterologists, primarily surgeons, internists, and residents-in-training, and also students and fellows. According to the authors, they would extend the intended audience to include nurses as well. The authors are best in their areas. This two-volume book contains high quality, black-and-white and color illustrations. The references are presented well, and the index and table of contents are easy to use. This textbook meets its objectives, and it is a formidable competitor in a field with other outstanding textbooks, both American and European.

    August 05, 2005: This is unequivocally the best Gi textbook on the market today. It is timely, topical and filled with detail, yet is written so that laypersons and gastroenterologists alike can follow the logic espoused within. Chapter 85 is particularly strong--concise and well-written, with excellent endoscopic and radiographic photographs.
