Short description
A vivid, visual tour of a complex and fascinating subject! This book uses a wealth of vivid, full-color imagesrather than dense textto help you master all the histology and cell biology information you need to prepare for your course exams as well as the USMLE Step 1. Clinical correlations drive home the relevance of the material to clinical practice, and new Essential Concepts sections at the end of every chapter facilitate review. And now, online access via STUDENT CONSULT makes this an even more effective learning resource!

Review
Dr Kierszenbaum and the publishers must be heartily congratulated as this is indeed a wonderful and really a quite beautiful book. It brings together cell biology, histology and pathophysiology with some clinical correlations.
The diagrams are vivid, colourful and complement the informative and comprehensive text. All clinicians need to have a basic understanding of cell biology as this is where the future of medicine lies. This is a wonderful book for students of medicine at any level.

The book is good all round. It seems very comprehensive in its coverage of normal histology, but it certainly goes much further: it has some simple explanations of physiology and some pathology...For the student interested in histology and in reading a little bit extra physiology, this is a useful textbook.

REVIEW OF THE LAST EDITION
Virtually every key concept in the field of histology has been thoughtfully illustrated with a staggering level of detail...The visual presentation is simply outstanding...Dr. Kierszenbaum has not only succeeded in providing a valuable educational resource but has also raised the standard with regard to the use of graphics and photomicrographs within medical texts.
