This work is heavily based on the author's own practical experience and is aimed at beginners in Doppler echocardiography who are reasonably experienced in the imaging aspects of cardiac ultrasound and who understand the basics of cardiac anatomy, physiology and pathology. He has tried to keep technical matters as simple as possible and includes practical points which often arise in working discussions but which are frequently omitted from more formal texts. The author has tried to highlight points which newcomers find difficult to understand, while the qualitative techniques relevant to practical clinical problems are explained and the bibliography is broken down into subject groupings. The work should prove equally valuable to cardiologists and everyone concerned with this subject.

Dr Wild has written an account of textile manufacture in the northern and western Roman provinces. He begins with a chapter on ancient textile fibres and their sources including an account of Roman production of wool, silk imports, flax and hemp and experimental fibres such as asbestos. Then he studies methods of fibre preparation and spinning and the tools used by the ancient craftsmen. The main body of Dr Wild's survey is a detailed account of the evidence, archaeological and literary, for Roman looms, and an examination of surviving textiles. The final section considers the problems of Roman industrial cloth-finishing and dyeing. The text is supported by tables of implements, two catalogues of textiles and over 100 illustrations. This is an important work of reference on a major, but neglected, aspect of Roman technology and economics.
