Gegenstand und Anlaß der Berichterstattung freilich sind zumeist wenig erfreulich. Das hat viele Gründe. Einer ist in der Tht das schwere Erbe, das die Geschichte den Arabern hinterlassen hat: erst die Herrschaft des Os­ manischen Reiches, später die anderthalb Jahrhunderte dauernde Dominanz Europas. Ein anderer Grund liegt naturgemäß in den Ara­ bern selbst. Vergleichen mit anderen Teilen der nicht-europäischen (im weitesten Sinne) Welt tun sie sich schwer, die

Overview: Der Almanach für die Augenheilkunde 1973 fand überall wohlwollende Aufnahme und war innerhalb eines Jahres weitgehend vergriffen. Das veranlaßte Herausgeber und Verlag bereits 3 Jahre später den nächsten, jetzt 5. Band dieser Reihe erscheinen zu lassen. Da auch dieser Fachalmanach für die Augenheilkunde 1976 vor allem den in der Praxis tätigen Augenarzt über den neu esten Stand auf besonders aktuellen oder speziellen Gebieten der Augenheilkunde informieren soll, wurde für ihn erstmals der übertitel "Aktuelle Ophthalmologie" gewählt. Wiederum ist es gelungen, für die vorliegenden 13 A
