Imaging in Internal Medicine

Functional Histology must rank highly amongst text-books on morphology. Such texts tend to be verbose, the author trying to cram so much detail into the work as to obscure the basic essentials and ideas and to confuse the reader. Not so this work, which, in its second edition, maintains the high standard of the first. Whether one is studying normal or abnormal morphology, a clear basic understanding is essential, particularly with regard to the latter. Here functional histology remains vital to an understanding of histopathology. The second edition is once again a mixture of superb colour photomicrographs, electron micrographs and line drawings, the former being, once again, outstanding in their clarity of detail and the accuracy of their colour. The texts accompanying the illustrations are succinct and very much to the point and form a natural adjunct to the former. Once again this is a very valuable addition to the library of works on morphology, maintaining the high standard set by the first edition.
