ABOUT THE BOOK
This compact atlas provides medical, dental, allied health, and biology students with an outstanding collection of histology images for all of the major tissue classes and body systems. The Fourth Edition features a completely re-digitized image collection, along with other hallmarks of this atlas that have been proven over time, including its concise writing style, compact size/format, and quick introduction/background for each chapter that reviews essential concepts, histophysiology, and clinical considerations. A bound-in interactive student CD-ROM contains all the images from the book with compare and full-screen view modes, zoom, label rollover and on/off features, along with USMLE-style and identification review questions.
"I recommend this book for those who are seeking a basic introductory book to histology. The chapters and content have a nice flow, and illustrations complement the diagrams very well. There aren't a lot of special stains featured, but more focused on basic H&E."

"This book was required for one of my classes. My only complaint is that it doesn't have enough slides to get to know histology."

"Good book to have to supplement the Basic Histology Text and Atlas by Luiz Carlos Junqueira. Provides brief explainations and more pictures to assist you with identifying things under the microscope."

"I found the book nicely edited, the illustrations were priceless and contained lots of information. The theoretical content of the book though cannot be compared with Ross, this is why it can be used only as a review book. The main quality of the book is in its illustrations and images, which are truly excellent."

"I found this book to be a great resource for my medical histology class. The pictures helped me to remember key concepts for on my histology lab. The difference between squamous and transitional epithelium can really only be appreciated with the help of this atlas since it is harder to describe it in words. If you really want to know the type of medical histology questions asked on histology medical exams, get the following which is on amazon:
Histology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi
This study guide helped me to know what type of questions to prepare for on my exams. I give both books 5 stars."
