This is a nice text for supplemental materal, but not for a primary text. This was a supplemental text for my med school Histology course and it was a nice reference for images only. I would sometimes read some of the text near the image I was studying and found it was not informative enough for a primary text...I would always have to refer to our primary text (Histology: A Text and Atlas, by Ross and Pawlina) for clarification or further detail. But, with that said, I did use this text to practice further image ID...and it was great for that with nice image captions.
Had to get this for a college class. Was very very helpful. Wouldn't buy it unless it was for a class. If your taking A&P buy this book and use this book. It will help you raise your grade in this class.
Amazing book of histology, perfect for medical school students. Has an amazing way to teach between atlas and information. Strongly recommend it to medical schools students as a reference.
This book has a good selection of images, but in my opinion not enough. Histology is a lot about seeing slides and memorizing how different tissues etc look like, and I wish this book had more examples of each category with better image quality.
I really enjoyed this kindle edition. Its will take a little to get used to the browsing of the book it self, but once you have grasped it, you will love it. Also, I love how when you isolate a picture, you can pinch and zoom it. The pictures are of great quality.
This textbook is ideal for anyone studying histology. The pictures are wonderful and very aesthetically pleasing. The text itself isn't too dry or boring. It's not a book for someone unfamiliar with cell biology though. I learned a ton from histology class and the book really facilitated my knowledge.
My teacher used direct pictures from book on test labeled how they are in book. E book alowed me to zoom in on my iPad and check things out better. Problem was page numbers are way off from real textbook but still able to find things alright when searching by individual chapters
The photographs in the book are very good.En as to the synthetic quality of the text is ideal for those who want to make a first read an issue.The charts are very helpful for understanding the issues.Especially since I am Spanish speaking, having a book of histology in English I find very helpful when I have to write in this language.
