    This is a world-class collection of chapters by more than 200 of the world's leading experts in a variety of different areas. It is the ultimate source for information about all aspects of asbestos diseases and includes differential diagnosis, prevention, remedies, and legal tactics, as well as detailed analysis on the impact of the disease in countries around the world.

    Whether you are prosecuting an asbestos case, defending one, or need information about a certain topic, the full set of Sourcebook on Asbestos Diseases, a valuable 22-volume library, offers a wealth of perspectives you can use to win your case.

    A global awareness of health risks suggests that use of asbestos may soon be banned, many workers exposed in earlier decades are just now feeling the effects of this destructive mineral fiber -- and some countries are just beginning to see the legal consequences of the unforgiving diseases caused by asbestos.
