Among the topics are the historical background to mesothelioma, the possibility of genetic disposition, the pathogenesis of serosal lesions after asbestos exposure, establishing and characterizing cell lines, and several diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. The subject index is quite brief. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.� Portland, Or.
