The Nature of Disease: Pathology for the Health Professions: Pathology for the Health Professions

Much needed book for school

I love this book. I took pathophysiology about a year ago, and the visuals and easy explanations really helped me get a solid foundation of pathology. I am now an upper lever Clinical Laboratory Science student and sometimes find myself referencing this book in my upper level courses when I need a simple, to the point answer to help me understand my upper-level course work. This book was my first introduction to pathology and I am greatful. It is very well-written for an introductory level. It gives just enough information without overloading on the details (some textbooks have this problem where it rattles off a bunch of facts before getting to the big picture.) I will NOT be selling this book when I graduate. It is one of my favorite textbooks and I plan to have this for years to come.

I just finished a final for a different class and was so excited to hear that my shiny new books for the next term had arrived! Only, I open one of the boxes to find its contents looking like it was manhandled thrice around the globe. So disappointing and upsetting!! Receiving a "new" book in this condition is worthy of replacement, if not a discount.

This book is dated, but the concepts and layout is very enjoyable. It has quiz and case study questions throughout the chapters with a chapter review test as the end. It is highly detailed concepts for university students. A chapter takes a few hours to process. Enjoy!

I used this textbook for my pathophysiology course and I actually thought it was well structured. Definitions are easy to locate, and the sub content within the sections is really well organize with great figures.

I'm really disappointed in this textbook. I feel that the descriptions are incomplete and vague, and the writing isn't up to standard. It seems like the bolded terms are sort of random. Graphics that included aren't always clearly explained. I expected a lot more out of this textbook. The online access provides an online versions of the book with a glossary. That's it. No practice problems or anything. I'm so disappointed that I'm considering trying to find the author on linked in and write him an email telling him he should find a new career.

i liked this book, very informative needed for one of my college classes and it helped me have a better understanding

great resource. I needed it for pathophysiology class and it has helped to be able to use the section questions and such. Plus the images are good. Great learning tool

Just what I needed for my AP course

I really liked this book and found it very useful for my second year nursing degree, the photos and pictures in the book make it easier to follow.

Good

Thanks!!
