Review

"This is an excellent book that should be used by everyone starting to learn histology. It is superbly simple and colourful with informative diagrams that are clearly labelled! This book makes histology enjoyable: much better than staring for hours on end down a microscope and not knowing what you are looking at! I like the way it divides the
sections into the different body systems. The index is very useful. High-quality illustrations are provided in this book and the printing quality is excellent. I will happily recommend it to all science and medical students!"
BMA Awards 2007
“…concise relevant text with excellent photographs, excellently reproduced…Wheater’s remains an excellent book and is highly recommended.

Looks Brand New!

I ordered a text book in "very good condition" for only $17.86 compared to the nearly $70 new price tag, and it the book still looks brand new! I'm very happy with how excellent the condition is. Shipping wasn't super fast, took about a week to arrive, but worth the quality. I'm sure this will be a book that I reference throughout my education journey and career. I highly recommend this seller!

I had this text during school and loved it so much that I got it for someone who was having difficulty with hist. She loves it as well. If you're looking for something with good images that also explains a lot of metabolic/hormone function, this text is great

I bought this atlas because it was recommended for a class. No real complaints about the seller. It was listed as used. I did notice a lot of highlighting, but I guess that's to be expected.

Good pics, only the text you need

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2010

This book is an excellent beginner histology text. It has well labeled pics of just about anything you will need to recognize under the microscope as a 1-3 year vet student. The online version is also handy in class if you have wireless internet available because then you don't have to lug an extra book around! It is a book that I plan on keeping in my personal library. The best part is that the text is only there to explain what you are seeing in the photos, rather than having the photos as a support for the text!

I really enjoyed this kindle edition. Its will take a little to get used to the browsing of the book it self, but once you have grasped it, you will love it. Also, I love how when you isolate a picture, you can pinch and zoom it. The pictures are of great quality.

Good.. but could be better!

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2016

This book has a good selection of images, but in my opinion not enough. Histology is a lot about seeing slides and memorizing how different tissues etc look like, and I wish this book had more examples of each category with better image quality.

This textbook is ideal for anyone studying histology. The pictures are wonderful and very aesthetically pleasing. The text itself isn't too dry or boring. It's not a book for someone unfamiliar with cell biology though. I learned a ton from histology class and the book really facilitated my knowledge.
