4.0 out of 5 stars Of Standards, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Histology: Examination & Board Review (Paperback)

The decision to buy this book is one of the most apt I have ever made in the medical school. Paulsen gives the rather abstract histology a vivid approach, that engulfs just what is required.

However , illustrations are lacking and because of its compactness, no sentence is to be ignored. Consequently , progress is not very significant and thus inappropriate to rush through the day before the exam.

This review is from: Histology and Cell Biology: Examination and Board Review, Fifth Edition (LANGE Basic Science) (Paperback)

This book is so good...! I bought the 4th edition. It helps a lot particularly in preparing for exams. It helps in filling the gap when you thought you knew what you need to know if you understand what I mean!!!!...By far I prefer it than the BRS which is not helping you in directing your reading when you need to master a concept. It saves me a lot on my study time by re-directing me from reading to mastery...If they had other ones like that for the other basic science subjects, I would not hesitate to buy...The only reason why I don't give it 5 stars it lacks in diagrams and colours. It is a bit abrupt which does not suit my learning style. I would be so grateful if they would add some colours to the charts and make it more fun with drawings, cartoons and colourful diagrams...

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than BRS Histology, July 30, 2007

This review is from: Histology and Cell Biology: Examination and Board Review (Paperback)

I bought both this book and BRS Cell Biology and Histology for review and used them mainly as a source for practice questions. I found that the questions in this book is much better and more challenging than those in the BRS book.
