Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is the Seventh Edition of the comprehensive and well-respected text and reference of pathophysiology. As a nurse-physiologist, Carol Porth uniquely emphasizes "concepts" of altered health states, as opposed to factual descriptions of diseases and disorders. By taking this physiologic approach, the author ensures a comprehension of the whole of body function. By integrating all of the aspects of the human body into a total functional whole, the student can grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of altered health.

A back-of-book CD-ROM includes three-dimensional animations of pathophysiology.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Written, June 8, 2006

By	Science focus "scifo" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

90% of the bulk content is unnecessary; very poor quality. Short on substance; very long winded. This is not a science textbook, but a verbose chat. NOT recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much information and lost in translation, August 30, 2005

By	Sam the Man "Portal Hypertension" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Although it is good being exhaustive, but the author fails to deliver.
The subject is already hard to understand, this book does not even help to make the subject clearer and easier. It's very deep and detailed in its own complicated words... In a fast pace nursing school, this is definitely not the book you want to review...
It is good for reference, but not as a textbook.
When you want to go for to the point review and understand the concept fast, you may want to look somewhere else...
