More About This Textbook
Overview
Histology and Cell Biology: An Introduction to Pathology uses a wealth of vivid, full-color images to help you master histology and cell biology. Dr. Abraham L. Kierszenbaum presents an integrated approach that correlates normal histology with cellular and molecular biology, pathology, and clinical medicine throughout the text. A unique pictorial approach-through illustrative diagrams, photomicrographs, and pathology photographs-paired with bolded words, key clinical terms in red, and clinical boxes and "Essential Concepts" boxes that summarize important facts give you everything you need to prepare for your course exams as well as the USMLE Step 1.
• Access the fully searchable text online at studentconsult.com, along with USMLE-style multiple-choice review questions, downloadable images, and online only references.
• Easily find and cross-reference information through a detailed table of contents that highlights clinical examples in red.
• Review material quickly using pedagogical features, such as Essential Concept boxes, bolded words, and key clinical terms marked in red, that emphasize key details and reinforce your learning.
• Integrate cell biology and histology with pathology thanks to vivid descriptive illustrations that compare micrographs with diagrams and pathological images.
• Apply the latest developments in pathology through updated text and new illustrations that emphasize appropriate correlations.
• Expand your understanding of clinical applications with additional clinical case boxes that focus on applying cell and molecular biology to clinical conditions.
• Effectively review concepts and reinforce your learning using new Concept Map flow charts that provide a framework to illustrate the integration of cell-tissue-structure-function within a clinical-pathology context.
Build a stronger base of clinical knowledge through the integration of cell biology, histology, and pathology
Editorial Reviews
From The Critics
Reviewer: Ronald P. Jensh, B.A., M.A., Ph.D.(Thomas Jefferson University)Description: This well written and illustrated textbook presents a visual approach to the fields of histology, cell biology, and some pathology, although the latter two get less attention than histology, which is the primary focus.
Purpose: The purpose, as stated by the author, is to present a visual approach to histology. To that end, numerous color illustrations and photographs are incorporated into each chapter. This is an excellent approach since histology is, by nature, a visual science.
Audience: Although the title includes cell biology and there is an introduction to pathology, the primary focus in on histology. The book would be appropriate for first year medical students as well as upper division (second and third year) college students and graduate students. It could also serve as a quick review for medical students preparing for Step I of the USMLE exams and for residents and practitioners as a quick reference.
Features: The book covers the histology of the major tissues and organ systems of the human body in a very traditional and appropriate order. It is heavily illustrated with color drawings and photographs. In many instances, the illustrations are presented with an associated photograph, which is helpful to the reader. The general layout of the book and its use of color are particularly appealing. The visual approach has always been a favored teaching method of mine and this book is excellent in the use of this educational technique. A minor shortcoming of the book concerns some of the photographs. The author has obviously spent considerable time and effort in producing outstanding color illustrations, so it is curious why the color balance is not good in some of the photographs, since this is so easy to do using digital photography. Also of concern is the title. This is primarily a text of histology and, although the basics of cell biology are covered, the latter hardly deserves to have the same emphasis in the title. Also, it is not really an introduction to pathology, since the basic pathologic processes are not discussed, but rather clinical pathologic illustrations are used in each chapter.
Assessment: This is a well written, well produced, high quality textbook. Its visual approach to the topic is most valuable and is of great help for students studying this material for the first time. There are numerous other texts of histology, but the unique visual approach of this one will make it a valuable addition to a library.
From the Publisher
"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."
Declan O'Kane MD FRCP(UK), www.medexam.net
"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."
1st Year Medical Student, Dundee University
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."
