I bought this recommended book for my Histology class at the University of Copenhagen. At first it was fun to read the authors' dedication of the book to different winemakers, but eventually I grew tired of the endless joking around. The actual core text is not very in-depth but the illustrautions are beautiful, thus the mediocre rating. And another thing, the book is useless when it comes to the central nervous system.
Just for using human tissues this book is wonderful. Enough for monkey, pig, rat or horse tissues. Besides, the proposal of discarding the old classification of tissues and instead use now an cellular approach is very appropriate. And above all clear and precise descriptions. This book would be better with more mollecular details, and more information in morphology; but it ouststands many other books in the field.
I'm a med student and found this text right enjoyable and an alternative easier to text to learning histology. The pictures are quite detailed, which is important especially for histology lab exams. The organ systems are explained in a clear matter without extremely hard vocabulary to understand. This text does what it is supposed to do, which is to teach. I also found the Histology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers ISBN: 0971999686 very good in helping me prepare for my medical exams in histology class. I highly recommend both books.
I think this book is one of the best in the market. The information is straight forward and easy to read. Everything in this book is very well organised.
This may seem quite strange but it is true.Reading this book i was totally terrified that histology could be a dificult and demanding task to deal with.But to my own surprise, i surpassed this obstracle with the help of another totally unknown book called " Basic Histology" by Adonis Kalligaropoulos.I recommend it to you if you want to acquire a clear and simple idea of histology and take an A in your exams.
