By A Customer The micrographs and illustrations are lush and colorful but do not correlate with the text at all. It's as if Gartner and Hiatt have adapted the better illustrations from previously used textbooks. The information is dense but only useful if you've already been introduced to the subject. If you are new to histology, you will be hopelessly confused. Furthermore, the figures will be useless because they are not labelled and not explained in the text. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. An Excellent Textbook of Histology By Ali Al Sinan This book is really one of the best textbooks of Histology I have ever seen and if you exclude (NMS Histology,concise and not well illustrated ) ,you won't find (as a medical student) such a comprehensive,organised,well illustrated textbook of Histology.However,you will need to buy a good atlas of Histology along with the book simply because the book is not an atlas. One of the features that I liked very much in the book is the simple coloured hand-drawn pictures which simplify the real microscopic slides very much and make them easier to understand and to draw. Another feature is that the book along with the histology text has also physiology, gross anatomy notes as well as clinical correlations in an integrated way so that you do not need to refer to other textbooks in Anatomy and physiology to correlate it with histology text. During my histology course , I did not need to refer any other book in histology (except to NMS Histology to some bits which I did not find detailed info about it in the book).It is really good book and I recommend to you as a textbook and reference (Especially if your course involves detailed knowledge about the material). 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Most Poorly Written Book Ever By Anh Vu I don't what's wrong with the rest of you given saying this book is the best ever. Obviously, you have never read it. This book is the most poorly written text I have ever read. It mentions one thing and continues to explain it three pages later. It contradicts itself and is overly verbose. Often times, it is too confusing to follow the logic of the text. Whoever wrote this book should re-evaluate the people it is directed towards and rewrite it. See all 8 customer reviews...
