PUBLISHED REVIEWS

Remarkably up to date€¦Provides the reader with a current understanding of disease mechanisms and deserves a place on the shelf of any health care professional, irrespective of specialty or level of training. - JAMA, review of previous edition

Praiseworthy for the breadth and depth of its content and its ability to remain up to date. It serves the needs not only of the beginning student, the pathologist in training, but all practitioners of medicine with intellectual curiosity. - Modern Pathology, review of previous edition


Bound to retain its standing as the definitive source for learning, or relearning, the principles of the pathologic basis of disease. - Advances in Anatomic Pathology, review of previous edition

This book is even shorter than before. That is really impressive. I cannot but admire this book, which I keep re-reading since I entered Pathology in 1966. Wow, it shows that even a first class book can be improved - hard to believe but true. It is very readable and even funny in some places. The text is nicely laid out and the book looks less bulky than the previous edition. The illustrations are excellent. Even though the book is definitely for the new generations, I am sure that it will be welcomed by senior pathologists trying to keep up with the times - I doubt that I am the only old timer eager to re-read it. - Ivan Damjanov, MD, PhD, author of Pathology Secrets and Pathophysiology

I came across this book when I was preparing for my third year exam and I said to myself “This can be helpful for my pathology revision.” Hence, I requested to review the book. Few days later, a whooping hardcover-1450-page-book arrived at my door step. Before I go any further, rest assured that this book available under student consult, so incase you need to travel and need to study pathology, you don’t need to carry the heavy book with you. As geeky as it sounds, I enjoyed reading the book, it is thorough , detailed and full of pictures, which is great for pathology. It is also up to date (from what I have perceived) with its information. It has become one of my top sources to consult when I need to research a disease, whether it is for pathology or clinical purposes, it aided my understanding in what I’m searching for. It is also great for presentations, as mentioned, it has plenty of pictures which you can obtain from student consult (remember to reference it) and is a great source to put down in the reference too. The text layout are also clear, easy to read, accompanied by clear tables of content. The sentences are not wordy and mean what they mean, unlike some textbooks which can be rather convoluted. The depth is also well grasped, aimed at medical student and equips students with what they should know. On the aspect of revision, it may be a bit heavy for last minute cramming and some say it’s brother “Review of Pathology” may be more appropriate for that. Unfortunately I could not validate such information as I was too engrossed in this book. In conclusion, I am glad that I have come across this book, and I will recommend students to go to the library and check it out.
