Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - Schwartz's Principles of Surgery, 11e AB - It was a singular privilege to serve as editor-in-chief of the first and subsequent six editions of Principles of Surgery. The invitation from the current editor-in-chief, Dr. F. Charles Brunicardi, who has discharged that responsibility for the ensuing four editions, to participate in the textbook’s 50th anniversary, is gratifying. The readers of the first seven editions often commented on the distinctive yellow cover. On this particular celebration of longevity, the color yellow connotes “gold.” SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesssurgery.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1175836738 ER -
