Reviews

While the text and images may have been due for an update and the clinical correlations have been expanded, this edition continues with the same layout and format. Outwardly, it appears very much the same as the previous edition and similar to other standards in the field.-George Niiro, PhD(Midwestern University) Doody Review: 4 stars

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, review of the previous edition
