2.0 out of 5 stars A horrible beginner's text., September 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Color Textbook of Histology (Paperback)

The micrographs and illustrations are lush and colorful but do not correlate with the text at all. It's as if Gartner and Hiatt have adapted the better illustrations from previously used textbooks. The information is dense but only useful if you've already been introduced to the subject. If you are new to histology, you will be hopelessly confused. Furthermore, the figures will be useless because they are not labelled and not explained in the text.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Text for Beginners, June 16, 2002

By	Bastyr Med. Student "hertme" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

Coming from a social science background rather than one in biology, I found this book a lifesaver first year. The photos are great and the diagrams extremely helpful. I replaced the required Junquira, which I found unreadable, with Gartner and Hiatt!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Textbook of Histology, October 24, 2001

By	Ali Al Sinan "Aujami" (Wellington School of Medicine, Wellington, NZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is really one of the best textbooks of Histology I have ever seen and if you exclude (NMS Histology,concise and not well illustrated ) ,you won't find (as a medical student) such a comprehensive,organised,well illustrated textbook of Histology.However,you will need to buy a good atlas of Histology along with the book simply because the book is not an atlas. One of the features that I liked very much in the book is the simple coloured hand-drawn pictures which simplify the real microscopic slides very much and make them easier to understand and to draw. Another feature is that the book along with the histology text has also physiology, gross anatomy notes as well as clinical correlations in an integrated way so that you do not need to refer to other textbooks in Anatomy and physiology to correlate it with histology text. During my histology course , I did not need to refer any other book in histology (except to NMS Histology to some bits which I did not find detailed info about it in the book).It is really good book and I recommend to you as a textbook and reference (Especially if your course involves detailed knowledge about the material).
