The pocket
atlas is an excellent reference work that presents pathologic findings in all
clinically relevant fields, using high-quality photographs and concise, well
structured explanatory texts. Images include color photos and micrographs.
Electron microscopic images are included where necessary. Clear schematic
drawings illustrate procedures such as the course of infections, etc. Text
boxes on clinical and morphological aspects, on complications, and with
easy-to-remember mnemonic summaries are set off in color.
Review:
...The
illustrations [are] chosen to catch students' attention, and to explicate
details and intricacies--along the lines of the old adage that one picture is
worth a hundred words. As a teacher I would invite my students to describe the
color figures and try to see how far they can go. Once they become involved and
realize 'how much they can see just by observing', I would ask them to read the
text on the opposite side...connecting words with the visual data. The authors
deserve congratulations for the well-chosen pictures, some of which cannot be
described otherwise than stunning and memorable. ...There are no similar
atlases covering the macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural aspects of
general pathology all in one. ...It could get...on the list of recommended
texts in the almighty First Aid for the Boards! ...A quality
textbook of this kind deserves wider usage.--Modern Pathology
