Clinical Biochemistry An Illustrated Colour Text 5e 2013
Preface to the fifth edition
Time marches on. As we present the fifth edition of our Illustrated Colour Text we are reminded that we have just passed another milestone on a journey that began twenty years ago when we were first invited to produce a new textbook of Clinical Biochemistry by Churchill Livingstone.
That book in its various editions and translations has gone on to sell more than 50, 000 copies. Because of this success, when it comes to writing a new edition we face the combined challenges of preserving what works, while updating what has become outmoded and including for the first time important new material. These challenges have been met and while every page of this edition has been updated, we have, we believe, kept the essence of the book that has made it such a success with readers around the world.
Some sections of the book have received much more attention than others, with minor adjustments on some double page spreads and entirely new pages on others, such as myocardial infarction, gastrointestinal disorders, osteoporosis, proteinuria trace metals and paediatrics.
With this edition we bid farewell to two of our original authorship team – Professors Jim Shepherd and Mike Stewart – who have decided to step down and enjoy their retirements. But, with departures come arrivals, and we are delighted to welcome Dr Rajeev Srivastava to our team. Rajeev is a Consultant Clinical Biochemist in Glasgow, bringing with him specialist expertise in nutrition and paediatric biochemistry.
Writing this edition of the book has been as challenging and as enjoyable as all the others. After these first 20 years we look forward, with renewed excitement and vigour, to the possibilities of the next.
