Synopsis

The second edition of The Biology of Disease is an introductory level text on the biological principles of human disease. The book is aimed at medical students in degree courses in biomedical science. The book fuses the biological (physiological and biochemical) processes which underlie the clinical manifestations of disease. As such, it brings together material which is conventionally dealt with by several books. The authors have covered the fundamentals of each topic in a readable manner, which should encourage students to develop a fuller understanding, where necessary, by reference to more comprehensive texts. * Integrates basic science and clinical medicine. * Detailed case studies at the end of each chapter which emphasise the clinical setting. * New chapters on transplantation immunology, anaemia, toxicology & poisoning. * The use of non--technical language for the descriptions in the case studies to ensure that all students will comprehend the underlying principles.

Media Reviews
This is a good all--rounder and useful for all years, a definite worthwhile purchase. Surgo -- Glasgow University Medical School Gazette There are very few competing titles in this field, and this is certainly one of the best I have come across. I promise that time taken to dip into this book will be well rewarded. Cambridge Medicine -- Cambridge University Medical School Gazette If your medical school is one of the many where general pathology appears to have fallen between the beanbags, this is a good book to recommend early on, so students can rectify for themselves a glaring deficit in their basic medical education. The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists ...if you knew this book well enough, the pre--clinical years of medical school would be a breeze! Scope, Nottingham University Medical School Gazette .there is a real market for an up--to--date text. The Biology of Disease satisfies this need admirably...a very good buy. British Journal of Biomedical Science Throughout the book there is a strong focus on clinical relevance, making it a highly readable and informative account of disease in general. Murmur, Cambridge University Medical Society Journal Published Reviews of the 2nd Edition If you are wondering how many books you need to cover the mighty Scientific Basis of Disease (SBD) course, look no further. .the book fill gaps in your knowledge as you go along to improve understanding, and can also be used during exam revision for quick reference without going into boring lengthy detail.
