Book Description

ISBN-10: 0683307495 | ISBN-13: 978-0683307498 | Publication Date: July 15, 2000 | Edition: Ninth

The Ninth Edition of this classic histology atlas correlates tissue structure to function. Through illustration and four-color photomicrographs it juxtaposes idealized views with real life ones. With 59 high-quality photomicrographs and three-dimensional, computer-generated overview art, this book magnifies the minutia of organ and tissue structure to show which microscopic structures perform what functions and how said functions work. The functional correlations sections correlate with and directly relate to specific illustrations of tissues as organs. Part One explains tissues and their relationship to their respective systems. Part two addresses organs in similar fashion.

Hello, Im a Med student and became a Histology lover during my course. I own several Histo books and I have to say that I have read them all. So I have used this Atlas to "supplement" my Ross and my Wheater's and my 2-3 others, just for fun.
Regarding to this Atlas, and this is JUST an Atlas, I have to say that in my humble opinion it doesn't worth the buy if you intend to reach a somewhat decent level in this course. I dont want to discourage anyone from buying it, after all I have also bought it, but not everyone is willing to spend money on UNNEEDED books. I have seen a lot of people using it, and may be it did saved some "lives" but there are lots of better Histo books out there guys. The picture quality is moderate, the text is too much simplified (and I am not a native English speaker!)If you want a concise book my pick would be Wheater's, and if you want a thorough one, I would choose the Ross. For an Atlas I would go for the "Color Atlas of Histology" by Gartner. And generally speaking, if you go JUST for Ross, you will not need any other book.
I give this book a generous mark of three stars and add one if I heart someones feelings and hope that it was helpfull.

5.0 out of 5 stars Di Fiore's : A Med student's savior, April 2, 2001

This review is from: Di Fiore's Atlas of Histology With Functional Correlations (Paperback)

This Atlas is perfect for a first year medical student who has not taken histology before. It is truly better than all the rest since it presents both illustrations and as well as photos. The illustrations in particular are what allow a new student to grasp the major ideas behind a particular slide.

The biology class I'm taking had this as a required textbook. The bookstore did not order any of them so I searched Amazon to find a good price. The book I received was not only what I needed but was in better condition than I anticipated. I must admit, I looked not only for price but for a store in my home state so it would get here faster. This vender came through getting it to me 4 days prior to what the projected delivery date would be. Highly recommend buying from this source.
