Two volumes and forty-nine chapters of hepatology, from the anatomy of the liver to gallbladder cancer, edited by six hepatologists. The first volume runs from immunology, bilirubin and non-invasive diagnosis through liver failure, portal hypertension, cholestatic disease and the viral hepatitides; the second takes in autoimmune, drug-induced, alcohol-related and metabolic disease, pregnancy, children, tumours, transplantation and radiology. Every chapter has named contributors and full references, so it reads as a reference shelf rather than a revision text.
