Atlas of Histology with Functional and Clinical Correlations - Softcover

"This is an excellent histology atlas for students of medicine and the health professions. Each photomicrograph is carefully annotated to highlight key features. The expanded figure legends are filled with high-yield information. Clinical and functional correlations provide medical students with important patient-centered information. The theme is that if you know histology, then pathology becomes (almost) self-evident. The focus on figures and legends will appeal to students who enjoy visual learning. I really enjoyed the illustrated glossary of normal and pathologic findings in the first chapter. This exciting new atlas contains the information that students need to know to understand the foundations of pathology and medicine". - Doody's Review Service
