Management of Breast Diseases
In 2002, Lippincott published the Manual of Breast Diseases, edited by Professor Ismail Jatoi. The current book, Management of Breast Diseases, is an adaptation of that manual, with Professor Manfred Kaufmann of the Goethe-University of Frankfurt serving as co-editor. Most of the chapters from the original manual have been either extensively revised or discarded, and several new chapters added. This text contains more material than the original manual, but it is still intended as a basic guide for the wide spectrum of clinicians (surgeons, gynecologists, oncologists, radiation onco- gists, internists, general practitioners) who treat breast diseases, both benign and malignant.

Understanding Breast Cancer
Every twelve minutes an American woman dies from breast cancer, and an additional four patients are told they have the disease. Second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in women overall, it is number one among cancer deaths in women aged 35–54 and the second in women aged 55–74. Putting into perspective the stark reality of breast cancer and the chances of surviving it, this work is a layperson's guide to the disease. Chapters cover the scope of the problem, the causes of breast cancer, how it begins, grows and spreads, and how it looks under the pathologist's microscope (illustrations are provided). Also supplied is information on mammograms and their role in prevention, and on genetics, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, web sites and the improvements one may expect in the near future and those possible in the distant future.

The Nazis' rise to power had transformed occupied Europe into a hostile environment where life for Jews had become a living hell. Suddenly, old relationships had been swept aside as neighbours and friends had suddenly become enemies and would-be persecutors. Survival now depended on learning new skills and sharpening newly acquired instincts. The margin between freedom and incarceration was often minute. Under such a bruta...
