Summary: An Intelligent Guide to Morbid Human Biology
Review: Due in part to television, pathology holds a curious fascination for laymen and physicians alike. In medicine, pathologists always have the last word and frequently the first word. This humanistic treatment of pathology is appropriate reading for physicians, students, and broadly educated persons. It is immensely readable and with a gracious style that avoids the usual ghastly technical jargon of even the "best" pathology textbooks. It could be titled, "Pathologic Epistemology" or a "Thinking Man's Guide to the Human Species". Majno and his wife have returned to Virchow's maxim that disease happens in cells, the cells in tissues, the tissues in organs and the organs in people. If you think of yourself as literate this book will teach you about the inner you.

Summary: Hard to put down!
Review: I agree with the Nobel Laurate quoted on the back of this book, - It's hard to put down! Interesting, well structured, highly readable book on general pathology with focus on the basic unit; the cell. I'd recommend this book to anyone with an interest in pathology, and especially the curious student who wants to know more than what't needed to pass an exam! Best medical text book I've read so far!

Review: This is absolutely a great book. It has a lot of positive aspects: 1. easy to read 2. enough details 3. nice anecdotes which are written in smaller letters 4. easy to find what your looking for by bold, italic and underlined words 5. good table contents 6. good diagrams as well 7. at the end of each chapter a good summeryYou may ask "If it's so good why 4 stars instead of 5?". Well, the pictures are in black and white. I like coloured books myself.
