Customer Reviews

excellent seller.

Excellent Seller. Item received promptly! Post office made a note that the book was slightly damaged in transit, but it's perfectly fine! Thanks!

a great well prepared comprehensive book

This is the first book combining both histology, molecular biology and pathology together in a clear language and very well organized fashion. Thanks a lot to you and to the author for his effort.

Great book for histology class

The pictures were the selling point in this book. It did go a little too far in depth for my histology class at the time, talking about subunit x of protein y connects to this subunit in this way. However, it became more useful when I got to phys and path. The diagrams were everything, and they supplemented the text well. It did not have as many real microscopic pictures as Wheaters, but I found the drawings more useful than just staring at a light pink blob by a darker pink blob.

A Must have for Histology

This book is a wonderful resource for anyone that is in histology! Unlike other books, it does a great job of illustrating identifying characteristics of certian cells and tissues. It is very well written and easy to follow, but it is not an oversimplification or dumbed down at all. It is simply a great book!
