Robert H Riddell

Robert Riddell grew up during a time when boys played cops and robbers by creating toy guns by using a clothespin for a trigger that shot elastics made from car inner tubes. As the Great Depression overshadowed his family farm and the lives of everyone around him, Robert learned the value of hard work at an early age. In an interesting retelling of his life, Robert begins by chronicling his early history as he toiled on the farm, attended school, and eventually matured into a young man focused on joining the Royal Canadian Air Force. As he reveals his experiences as he flew B-24s in India during the Second World War, found love, changed his career plans from engineering to dentistry, and eventually married and had children, Robert also discloses his challenges as he navigated through regretable decisions that ultimately propelled him in an unexpected direction. Included are reflections on how his life led him to the beliefs he holds today about religion, government, the human race, and our ever-changing world. Living Together Peacefully shares the story of one man's journey through life as he shares how his decisions and experiences led him to the beliefs he holds close today.

Intestinal neoplasia comprises a large part of a surgical pathologist’s workload. Pathologists play a key role not only in the classification of malignancies but also in assisting screening programs, identifying incidental neoplasms, and guiding treatment by providing essential prognostic features for individual entities. A large variety of neoplasms affect the intestines, and there is ongoing discovery of new entities and prognostic features for known diseases. Pathologists and trainees should have a solid understanding of key morphologic features, pitfalls, and differential diagnoses. Importantly, pathologists should recognize and communicate features that help their clinical colleagues in making treatment decisions, with the ultimate goal of benefiting the patient first and foremost. The first volume of the Atlas of Intestinal Pathology provides a comprehensive yet concise, primarily visual review of intestinal neoplasms. It also serves asa useful resource primarily for pathologists and trainees in pathology by providing a concise yet comprehensive summary of morphology of intestinal neoplasia. Clinical practitioners and trainees also benefit from an understanding of the pathologic correlates to the diseases they manage.
