Edited and largely written by professors of pathology from the U. of Chicago, U. of California San Francisco, U. of Washington School of Medicine, and Harvard Medical School, this updated medical textbook presents itself as a balanced, accurate, and up-to-date view of the central body of human pathology that retains a strong emphasis on clinicopathologic correlations and incorporates understandings of the impact of molecular pathology on the practice of medicine. Predominately organized according to organic system, it also includes chapters on cell injury, cell death, and adaptations; acute and chronic inflammation; tissue repair; neoplasia; genetic and pediatric diseases; and environmental and nutritional diseases. The text has been illustrated with around a thousand four-color schematics, flow charts, and diagrammatic representations of diseases. New to this edition are highlighted summary boxes designed to provide students with key "take home" messages. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
