3.0 out of 5 stars NICE ATLAS, CUT-THROAT PRICE, March 30, 2003
By 
reviewer (Zurich, Switzerland.) - See all my reviews
The biggest obstacle in the way of this beautifully illustrated atlas is its rather unreasonable price-tag. Its publisher, (and authors), did overlook the fact that there are lots of moderately priced equivalents out there in the market.
Nevertheless, anyone who goes ahead and purchase this atlas will appreciate its versatile accomplishments. It is very practical, and included high resolution photographs and micrographs.
"Atlas of Human Parasitology" has a unique organization, which enabled it to provide comprehensive laboratory information. Every specimen it portrayed was labelled and analyzed in details. There is complementary taxonomical description in each case. This is a well-compiled atlas, but I still maintain that its price is a great barrier.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good bench atlas, September 8, 2001
By 
Gary Smith (Adelaide, SA Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I use this book on the bench in the microbiology department and I find the clarity and amount of photos extreemly useful. The other good features are the lifecycles and the methods present within the book. The book is sturdily bound and printed on high quality paper I would recomend this book to any laboratory, or person interested in parasitology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ash & Orihels Atlas, May 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
For anyone working in Diagnostic parasitology, this is simply the best reference available. Incredible colour plates, and importantly, keys for identification of unknowns and inclusion of exotic parasites.
