Exactly what I needed

Was searching high and low on a textbook on Microscopic Anatomy. All have been a disappointment, but this one. It has colored pictures, that are clearly labeled, and a breakdown on the different tissues of the body in an organized and easy to read manner. The only thing lacking is that it is weak with mentioning the epithelium in the different types of tissues. But overall it is a perfect companion to my lecture. Be warned it is not an Histology atlas, is more of a read with some pictures, a textbook. Very pleased with purchase.

My shoulders thank you

I purchased this book as an optional reading for my histology course. I did not use it as much as might be necessary for other courses but I was influenced by the fact that it is soft cover, small and lightweight making it easier to carry, and thus more likely to be read. I have used another histology book which was concise and very readable, this one is similar except that the images are in color and there are more diagrams to illustrate the histology in addition to microscopy images.

A Great Text for Beginners

Coming from a social science background rather than one in biology, I found this book a lifesaver first year. The photos are great and the diagrams extremely helpful. I replaced the required Junquira, which I found unreadable, with Gartner and Hiatt!

An Excellent Textbook of Histology

This book is really one of the best textbooks of Histology I have ever seen and if you exclude (NMS Histology,concise and not well illustrated ) ,you won't find (as a medical student) such a comprehensive,organised,well illustrated textbook of Histology.However,you will need to buy a good atlas of Histology along with the book simply because the book is not an atlas. One of the features that I liked very much in the book is the simple coloured hand-drawn pictures which simplify the real microscopic slides very much and make easier to understand and draw. Another feature is that the book along with the histology text has also physiology, gross anatomy notes as well as clinical correlations in an integrated way so that you do not need to refer to other textbooks in Anatomy and physiology to correlate it with histology text. During my histology course , I did not need to refer any other book in histology (except to NMS Histology to some bits which I did not find detailed info about it in the book).It is really good book and I recommend to you as a textbook and reference (Especially if your course involves detailed knowledge about the material).
