Description
This brand new, unique pathology textbook provides medical students with expert information on everything that they need to understand about the crucial links between basic biological science and the practice of medicine. Enormous value for money, students essentially get two books for the price of one: the first covers all essential basic science and the second applies this knowledge to appropriate clinical settings. The systemic approach in part two complements the modern curriculum perfectly. Professor Woolf with over 40 years experience teaching pathology writes with the same clear style that made "Cells Tissues and Disease" a best seller.
