Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a clearly written, well-illustrated book that is easy to read and presents its information in a way that engages the reader fully. The photomicrographs, electron micrographs and diagrams are excellent quality and clearly labelled, providing a great visual accompaniment to the text. The authors have also included sections called 'clinical correlations' that put the factual information into the context of a clinical scenario, providing additional useful information for their readers. The presence of a CD-Rom and access to an educational website is also very valuable. It is clear that this book is focused on making the information accessible and interesting to the reader and the authors have clearly succeeded in this aim."

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful images and layout, March 27, 2007

This review is from: Color Textbook of Histology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access, 3e (Paperback)

This textbook has a variety of excellent images, including photomicrographs, diagrams, and electron micrographs. Clinical correlations are included in boxes that stand out from the text. Key words are highlighted. Tables are well done and the text is very easy to read. Powerpoint presentations for the chapters can be found on-line for users of the text.

I liked the paperback binding and the quality of the paper.

The only disappointment I had was in trying to confirm a statement and I found no reference citations. Unless the authors did the research themselves, the statement should have been referenced.

This review is from: Color Textbook of Histology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access, 3e (Paperback)

Was searching high and low on a textbook on Microscopic Anatomy. All have been a disappointment, but this one.

It has colored pictures, that are clearly labeled, and a breakdown on the different tissues of the body in an organized and easy to read manner.

The only thing lacking is that it is weak with mentioning the epithelium in the different types of tissues. But overall it is a perfect companion to my lecture.

Be warned it is not an Histology atlas, is more of a read with some pictures, a textbook.

Very pleased with purchase.
