The traditional pathophysiology book is written for the medical student. Nursing and allied health students (usually at the sophomore level) have simply had to make-do with cumbersome (1500 to 1600 page) books, that assume considerably more science background than the typical allied health student has acquired. The Nowak book is not only briefer (at 700 pages) but is organized in a manner that brings the principles of pathophysiology to the forefront. The authors focus on the relatively few patterns of disease, rather than asking students to memorize extensive catalogs of specific diseases. This conceptual approach is more suited to the allied health student than the disease centered approach featured in the major competitors.

not happy,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pathophysiology: Concepts and Applications for Health Care Professionals (Hardcover)
The condition of this book was stated as good, but when I got the book there are so many highlighted areas and penned areas in the book, it makes it difficult to read. I would have like to know ahead of time that the book had been that marked up.

This review is from: Pathophysiology: Concepts and Applications for Health Care Professionals (Hardcover)
This book is a really dry read, to say the least, but it gets the job done.... Physically, the book is in perfect condition. The only thing I really don't like about this text is that there is no glossary!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pathophysiology: Concepts and Applications for Health Care Professionals (Hardcover)
I bought this book for a nursing class, and didn't want to purchase it from the school. It was much cheaper through Amazon than the school bookstore.
The book is layed out well and fairly easy to read.
