Do clinicians and trainees really need textbooks anymore? In an era of ever-expanding connectivity and immediate access to published articles, why would anyone consult a textbook, which by its very nature is incomplete before it is even published? No doubt these are strange questions coming from the editors of the third edition of the most popular multi-volume ophthalmic textbook, but they must be asked and answered. Our answer is an unequivocal “yes”! Books like this serve an extremely important function – that of a repository for expert reviews of our current understanding of ophthalmic health and disease. The chapters and sections in Albert and Jakobiec are an important resource for the clinician and student, providing a comprehensive information base on an extensive list of topics. Of course journal articles continue to be the most useful source of information about new developments in the field but they do not replace books. Constraints on the length of journal articles, inattention to the provenance of the ideas they contain, and an understandable tendency to self-promote the authors' thesis, limit the value of many “original contributions.” Readers of journal articles forearmed with information found in an encyclopedic text can place these articles into perspective. Thus, the two sources are complimentary. In a very real sense this textbook serves as a springboard to the constantly expanding universe of published scientific literature.
What is new in the third edition? The second edition (2002) was a reworking of the very successful first edition (1996) of Albert and Jakobiec's Principles and Practice of Ophthalmology. For the third edition we undertook a critical evaluation of each section and chapter to ensure that topics were well-covered with minimal redundancy, that new areas of practice and research were adequately described, and that topics that were over-represented could be substantially shortened or deleted. This evaluation involved all of the editors (Dan Albert, Joan Miller, Barbara Blodi and Dimitri Azar) as well as new and returning section editors. As an example, under the direction of Dimitri Azar, we incorporated a new section on refractive surgery that provides the principles of refractive surgery as well as useful descriptions of evaluation techniques and procedures. The Oncology section was substantially expanded and revised under the section editorship of Evangelos Gragoudas and Joan O'Brien. Pediatrics was also extensively revised by David Hunter and Monte Mills, and the Pharmacology and Toxicology sections were combined and revised under the direction of Mark Abelson. Barbara Blodi and Joan Miller reworked the extensive retina section, to include current techniques, new diagnostic modalities (including OCT), and new drug therapies. The human genome project and modern genetics are revolutionizing medicine, and genetics information has been incorporated into all sections. Finally, the last section of the textbook headed by Kathy Colby and Nancy Holekamp is a section on Ethics and Professionalism topics that are increasingly important to practicing clinicians, and an ACGME requirement for resident training. A concerted effort was made throughout the third edition to complement the text with diagrams, line drawings and color figures. In addition, each chapter contains a key points section. Overall, the third edition has exceeded the expectations of all of the editors. We were pleased by the enthusiasm of new and returning authors, more than 600 in total, as well as new and returning section editors, and were excited by the teamwork and cooperation shown in upgrading and improving this important project. The result is a definitive textbook in ophthalmology, available in hardcover and by web access.
The editorial team has been a wonderful collaboration and the senior editors are very grateful for the prodigious efforts of Drs. Dimitri Azar and Barbara Blodi. We were saddened that Dr. Frederick Jakobiec, a co-founder of this project and co-editor on editions 1 and 2, was unable to participate as an editor in the third edition, although still contributing as a co-author. We look forward to his return to the ophthalmology community, and we can report that Dr. Jakobiec is pleased and supportive of the upcoming 3rd edition of the textbook named for him and Dr. Albert. All of the editorial team is most appreciative of the unstinting and generous support of Elsevier Publishing; in particular the leadership of the senior editor, Russell Gabbedy, and the hard work and diligence of Zak Knowles, contributing editor, whose efforts in collecting and coordinating chapters, as well as initial editing of chapters were unsurpassed. The managing editors, Tracy Perkins and Janet Cohan, provided important coordination between the authors, section editors, editors and publisher, and handled all of their responsibilities with aplomb. Above all, the contributing authors who wrote the chapters and the section editors who delineated the section content and edited the component chapters deserve the greatest credit for the superb quality of the textbook.
We sincerely hope that the third edition of Albert and Jakobiec's Principles and Practice in Ophthalmology provides ophthalmologists and trainees with a gateway into the wonderful science and art of ophthalmology in order to provide the best care for our patients, and to continually advance our field.
