  - Basic HistologyThis book is very informational. It has alot of information needed by students and is also very helpful in identifying cell structures that are seen on histologic slides after staining. I use it daily while QC'ing slides after H&E staining. Rating:  - ehI still havent received the book and its been about month...its taking forever to get here and i needed the book like 3 weeks ago Rating:  - Great basic text with lots of good imagesI purchased this text for a course in histology that had no assigned text, and have been very pleased with the book. There is also a DVD of images which is a little hard to work with, but helpful once you get the hang of it. there are a number of different texts in the class, and this is the one we all rely on for identifying images in our lab sessions. Rating:  - Not a stand alone Histology TextThis book was required reading for histology class as an undergrad. It was not bad as far as strict histology went, however, in my opinion, this book is not very useful as a stand alone book. It seems it is designed to be read along with a histology atlas, or more importantly, a gross anatomy text. This book seems to assume that one already has some basic concept of gross anatomy and this book is most suited as a suppliment to anatomy. The writing in some places is hard to follow, and there are a few typo's. All in all, i would not recommend this text as a histology text if you are taking only histology. If however you are taking anatomy as well, this text may be sufficient. Rating:  - Good textbook, but be aware of the limitationsI found this book to be a good introduction to histology. It is limited in two ways: The first is that it is truly 'Basic Histology'. This is a plus and a minus. On the plus side, the book resists the temptation to drown the student in a sea of detailed molecular and cellular biology. I think this was intentional, and they do a good job of cutting to the chase. On the minus side, too many of the images are of poor quality. As an instructor of this subject, I found it quite frustrating that some of the schematics (which are supposed to help me get my point across) were of such low resolution that they appeared out of focus on a powerpoint presentation. This is not acceptable in this era of digital imaging. I would use this book again, but only if the image problem is corrected. |
