This review is from: Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults & Children (Hardcover)

McCance and Huether's Pathophysiology book is a lifelong investment. I bought it for a pathophys. class and continue to use it long after the class is over. It is thorough and easy to understand. Great illustrations and diagrams. I would recommend it to anyone in the healthcare field.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, September 23, 2005

This review is from: Study Guide & Workbook Pathophysiology: The Biologic Basis for Disease in Adults and Children (Paperback)

Even though the workbook does help "outline" subject matter it failed to offer study helps to assist in learning this complicated information. The tests would have been much more helpful if they explained why the answer was correct. I will continue to use it for the course, but I do not see it being of much help to me. The text book does a good job summarizing the "high points" in the summary after each chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Pathophysiology Text, March 12, 2006

McCance and Huether have written an excellent text giving an overview of pathophysiology. I used this text in a postdoctoral Master's program. It offers outstanding detailed information for an introduction to pathophysiology; as a result, it can be somewhat overwhelming in the volume of information one needs to retain during a course. If you just want a good book that gives a very broad overview of pathophysiology that is easy to read, then get "Pathophysiology Made Incredibly Easy." However, if you want in-depth knowledge, then McCance and Huether's book is your best choice. It is an excellent source book, and I regulary refer back to it for a review of disease processes.
