 Awful. January 9, 2006

I used this book as a first year medical student. It's just terrible. I have three main issues. First, the language is vague, confusing, and terminology is not consistent within the book. Second, the authors are single-handedly attempting to change medical terminology. As a med student, I couldn't care less about semantic battles of anatomists. All I want is the words defined AS THEY WILL BE USED ON BOARD EXAMS. This book does NOT provide that; instead, early in chapters, it says 'Older books (that is, every textbook ever published except this one) may use the word X, but we prefer the word Y because blah blah blah. So every time you see Y, mentally substitute X if you ever want to communicate with other people or read scientific literature.
And speaking of scientific literature, the authors apparently don't read it. There are multiple areas of questionable scientific validity and just plain misleading content-I know because I used several histology texts throughout, due to this one being so vague and simplistic.
The best text that I used was Histology: A text and atlas by Ross, 4th ed. Ross and Stevens directly contradict each other on many details, though, so if Stevens is used in your class, Ross won't help you pass your tests. It will, however, help for Boards.
 Great text for making histology easier to learn!!! November 13, 2003

I'm a med student and found this text right enjoyable and an alternative easier to text to learning histology. The pictures are quite detailed, which is important especially for histology lab exams. The organ systems are explained in a clear matter without extremely hard vocabulary to understand. This text does what it is supposed to do, which is to teach. I also found the Histology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers ISBN: 0971999686 very good in helping me prepare for my medical exams in histology class. I highly recommend both books.

I bought this recommended book for my Histology class at the University of Copenhagen. At first it was fun to read the authors' dedication of the book to different winemakers, but eventually I grew tired of the endless joking around. The actual core text is not very in-depth but the illustrautions are beautiful, thus the mediocre rating. And another thing, the book is useless when it comes to the central nervous system.
What an awful book! October 26, 2000

This may seem quite strange but it is true.Reading this book i was totally terrified that histology could be a dificult and demanding task to deal with.But to my own surprise, i surpassed this obstracle with the help of another totally unknown book called " Basic Histology" by Adonis Kalligaropoulos.I recommend it to you if you want to acquire a clear and simple idea of histology and take an A in your exams.
