For nearly 20 years, Slauson-Cooper has been the book of choice in general veterinary pathology. Now totally revised and updated, this new third edition continues to focus on recent advances in the understanding of the complex mechanisms by which mammals become sick. It introduces readers to disease concepts inherent in clinical medicine through the study of pathogenetic mechanisms, and stresses the importance of critical thinking throughout. Still the only text devoted to general veterinary pathology, MECHANISMS OF DISEASE, 3rd Edition, strikes a good balance between the detail required for sophisticated explanations of disease mechanisms and "information overload."

Humor found in a Pathology book...,
By
This review is from: Mechanisms of Disease A Textbook of Comparative General Pathology (Hardcover)
Ok, it's not "Comedy Central" or anything, but this book is made a much easier read through the application of humor. I prefer this book due to its compact explanations. What I do not understand about Pathology texts in general is the lack of color photos. It seems to be fairly straightforward to me- if you have a figure labeled with the color description, but a black & white photo- you are missing something!
Otherwise, this is an excellent text for Gen Path. Just one vet student's opinion. (And, yes, I passed Gen Path.)

Black and White,
By Betsy (St Kitts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mechanisms of Disease A Textbook of Comparative General Pathology (Hardcover)
All the pictures of slides and drawings in this text are in black and white. Most are well-labeled and are veterinary related conditions.
