This brand new title provides a highly illustrated and unambiguous introduction to the science, structure and function of cells, their related pathology, and in particular, helps readers master the basic principles of recognizing features of histological sections.

Histology at a Glance:

• Presents the perfect combination of text and image; key concepts are explained and superbly illustrated
• Provides coverage of all the main body systems and the components of the tissues of these systems
• Features practical information on microscopy, including sample preparation and magnification
• Includes hints and tips to help recognize features in a histological specimen, and overcome common difficulties
• Contains self-assessment questions to help test learning and recognition
• Links to the author’s histological website, which features many more tips and samples, at www.wiley.com/go/histologyataglance

Rezensionen

"This is an excellent learning resource for students in any medical
field who want to get their feet wet with histology. It is concise
and easy to read and, more importantly, presents each topic in just
two pages, so as not to overwhelm beginning histology students."
(Doody's, 16 December 2011)

"This reference text for students, residents, and junior doctors
in medicine, biomedicine, and dentistry covers the science,
structure, and function of cells and their related pathology and
helps readers master the basic principles of recognizing features
in histological sections". (Booknews, 1 June 2011)

"There are self-assessment questions and answers at the end, and
an accompanying website. The book and its website provide an
excellent resource for revision." (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics,
1 April 2011)
