  'One of the things that I have found most useful in the textbook is the inclusion of summary boxes which help to point out the key messages of each of the chapters...a really great way to test my knowledge at the end of a chapter and ensure that I hadn't missed any of the key points' - ( Medical Student Review ). General and Systematic Pathology progresses from a review of general pathology principles and disease mechanisms through detailed discussions of the pathologic entities associated with each organ system. Nearly 700 full-colour photographs and pathology slides bring the content to life. This new edition reflects the latest discoveries in cellular and molecular pathology with extensive updates.

  This book, unlike some of its competitors, is written specifically for the medical student. It does not attempt to cover material more applicable to the MRCPath trainee. It places pathology in the context of modern medicine and cellular and molecular biology. The book is structured around the basic principles of pathology, the mechanisms of disease and then the systematic pathology (ie disease as it effects the different organ systems). Each chapter in the systematic section starts with a brief account of the normal structure and function of the organ or system, emphasizing those aspects which are important to an understanding of the disease processes. The entire book is illustrated with a superb collection of macro photographs, histopathology and graphics. It includes a fantastic new online support package for all purchasers and an ancillary website.
