Clinical mycology is an area of rapid advances and changing perspectives and so it is encouraging to see this new comprehensive text covering this field . . . The volume is an excellent place of reference and is well written throughout . . . this is a very useful volume indeed to have in the library or on the laboratory reference shelf.
