Summary

This atlas and text of histopathology provides a practical collection of color photomicrographs of diseased human tissue to supplement standard pathology texts. An ideal companion to Wheater's Functional Histology, this new edition gives more emphasis to the scientific basis of disease and clinicopathological correlations. An unsurpassed collection of photomicrographs of diseased tissues makes the book more accessible. Concise captions provide more information and offer more value than a standard atlas. Coverage of both general and systematic pathology makes it useful for individuals from diverse educational backgrounds. Content has been revised to include more emphasis on clinical relevance. New and revised photomicrographs have been added to increase quality. A larger size and a new design make the material even clearer. Spanish version also available, ISBN: 84-8174-666-5
