This edition has a completely revamped art program and new displays that showcase pathophysiological processes though detailed visual representation. Other highlights include a greater international focus expanded content on evidence-based practice and completely revised updated chapters on genetics disorders of white blood cells and lymphoid tissues and innate and acquired immunity.

Cheap book for any Patho class!
Reviewed in the United States on 26 November 2016Verified Purchase
I got this for a college class and it was very useful and I didn't have to spend a ton of money on a brand new book. If your professor doesn't make you do specific homework assignments from your book then this would be perfect for you. The way the book is organized is a little different than newer editions of this book but the same information is there.

Great book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 January 2017Verified Purchase
Really good book! Was in brilliant condition to say it was 2ND hand, it was almost as good as new. Really pleased with it and it really helped with my assignments. Covers a lot of Pathophysiology which allows you to expand knowledge by further research into the said illness. Brilliant book, well written and has some really interesting photos and diagrams.

Very easy to follow, clearly layed out and multiple photo to explain. A great reference book to fall back on when needed. Definitely recommend to all, you don't even have to be in the medical field to understand or find this interesting.
