Description
As an introduction to pathology, this lively text provides an excellent grounding and will appeal to all medical students who need to have a clear understanding of the biological mechanisms studied in this area.

Written in a user-friendly style the new edition includes new sections on haematology and microbiology, and is illustrated in colour with cartoons to highlight points of interest. Key point and revision boxes act as aide memoires.
