4.0 out of 5 stars Of Standards, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Basic Histology: Examination & Board Review (Paperback)

The decision to buy this book is one of the most apt I have ever made in the medical school. Paulsen gives the rather abstract histology a vivid approach, that engulfs just what is required.

However , illustrations are lacking and because of its compactness, no sentence is to be ignored. Consequently , progress is not very significant and thus inappropriate to rush through the day before the exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than BRS Histology, July 30, 2007

By	Tom Shi (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought both this book and BRS Cell Biology and Histology for review and used them mainly as a source for practice questions. I found that the questions in this book is much better and more challenging than those in the BRS book.
