AB This,  the  fifth  edition  of  Fishman's  Pulmonary  Diseases  and  Disorders,  represents  a  substantial  departure  in  content  and  style  from  the  previous  four  editions.  Notably,  this  is  the  first  edition  in  which  the  founding  editor,  Alfred  P.  Fishman  (1918–2010),  is  no  longer  at  the  helm.  Dr.  Fishman,  a  legend  in  pulmonary  science  and  medicine,  leaves  a  legacy  based  on  a  long  and  distinguished  career.  Incredibly,  he  served  as  sole  editor  of  the  first  two  editions  of  the  textbook,  which  initially  appeared  in  print  in  1980.  Subsequently,  he  enlisted  a  number  of  coeditors,  including  several  from  the  current  group.  Those  of  us  who  had  the  opportunity  to  work  with  him  on  the  prior  two  editions  remain  grateful  for  his  leadership,  editorial  style,  and  unrelenting  commitment  to  excellence.  His  memory  inspired  us  in  preparing  the  current  volume.  We  can  only  hope  that  it  measures  up  to  his  exacting  standards.
