Customer Reviews

the best
A very simple review for simply the best pathology book. I find this has the right amount of content, the best approach and also the most accessible format/layout. I am writing this from the point of view of a medical student. It is more than an introduction to pathology, and can actually be read chapter by chapter, if u have wrists strong enough to carry its weight! Forget Underwood and all the others, this is the best, it really is, and worth the money, which as students, is definitely steep.

the most beautiful book of medical science
I study medicine, and I read several books of phisiology, anatomy and biochemistry. Many of them are so boring and uninteresting. With this book you feel real desire for reading and learning. The the ilustrations, the diagrams and graphics are wonderful. The text is easy to understand and is very actuallized. It's fascinating to read texts from different and so recognized authors. I'm glad I've done this purchase.

The model textbook!
With clear, helpful colour diagrams and photos, Robbins gives a fairly deep level of information. If this is too deep for you - never fear - the summary-introductions and morphology boxes give a good general outline. This book really helped me to understand a lot, and filled in the gap between my theory-based lectures and clinical implications.
