Editorial Reviews

Review

"As to be expected, this book is of the same caliber as the remainder of the Netter works. Humans are prone to think, dream, and remember in terms of pictures. Thus, it makes sense that students can learn better and faster with explanations given in pictorial format. As medical school curricula continue to adopt an organ-based system approach, this book, a natural complement to this style, will be used by students for years to come." - Doody's Book Review Service

4.0 out of 5 stars For nursing students, it beats out Basic Pathology, April 25, 2007

This review is from: Netter's Illustrated Human Pathology, 1e (Netter Basic Science) (Paperback)

For medical students, the staple book on pathology is Robbins and Cotran's Pathologic Basis of Disease. They've made a Basic Pathology book in this series for non-med healthcare providers. Basic Pathology is very...um...useless as a teaching tool. Poorly written, condensed to the point where I can't even read it, I might as well have bought the med student version of that book.

Enter Netter's Illustrated Human Pathology--perfect for nursing students who need to learn pathology! Out of all the pathology books I have reviewed, this one has the best blend of imagery (by none other than the venerable Dr. Frank Netter) and text to help allied health students understand system pathology at a histological, morphological and even systemic basis.

Can never go wrong with Netter, I guess!
