Editorial Reviews

Review

REVIEW OF PREVIOUS EDITION

"A classic primer of medical education...A current, succinct, and easily comprehensible text, which covers the essence of human pathology. Medical students and course directors will certainly appreciate the new edition. The authors should be commended on the continued improvement of a respected teaching resource." - Modern Pathology

REVIEW OF CURRENT EDITION

"The book maximises on presentation by using clear headings and sub headings, good quality colour plates, diagrams and tables. In common with many other Elsevier books, it's attractively presented. The authors are keen for the reader to learn about the advances in the field and have included details of these breakthroughs. The pathology textbook I bought as a student was just under half the price of this one and was left mostly on the shelf being largely unreadable with monochrome only illustrations and no extra features. That makes this book good value for money I would say!

Dr. Sager, Univadis, December 2008 --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, February 4, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Has a little more detail than you need in med school, but not so much that it's overwhelming like the thicker Robbins book. It's a good balance and pretty easy to read with lots of helpful pictures.
