| Let me begin by pointing out that the diagrams in ths book are worth far more than the text. In fact there is probably more text captioning and labeling the diagrams than in the body of the text itself. The downside is that somethings shown in diagrams are simply not at all mentioned in the text, so ii you use a textbook for the text contained within (or because you were told that you had to buy it), and look at the pictures only to understand what is written in the text, you will probably miss some important points. I recommend studying this book only after you have developed some familiarity with the basics of histology, then you can go through the diagrams of this book to clarify or reinforce your knowledge.
This book is a wonderful resource for anyone that is in histology! Unlike other books, it does a great job of illustrating identifying characteristics of certian cells and tissues. It is very well written and easy to follow, but it is not an oversimplification or dumbed down at all. It is simply a great book!
Having taken this class with Dr. Kierszenbaum at his school, i know how much histology can focus on what seems like minute details, such as little blue and purple dots in microscopes. Fortunately. Dr. Kierszenbaum's textbook, which is being released in its second edition in January 2007, is filled with loads of great pictures. The text is decent, and at least for me, it took a long time just to get through a single chapter. Once that's done, though, the pictures are all you need for review. Although it depends on the style of your histology class, Dr. Kierszenbaum's book should be a good, colorful read for many students. |

| My wife has been using this and other workbooks, after a stroke last month. I showed this workbook to her speech therapy teacher and the teacher said it was a good one and would be very useful to do. We have been going through it.
<br />Therapy teachers like to go to a section that challanges the paitent, but we are also doing the other sections as general exercise.
This and all of Brubaker's treatment manuals are excellent, quality tools to help the professional, family and aphasic individual fight back against the frustrating problem of aphasia. |

| An excellent, easy to understand guide to the complexities of medical laboratory diagnostics.
<br />
<br />-Osteopathic Medical Student
This Book is one of the best books in laboratory medicine.
<br />It is written in a student-friendly format, it is concise and comprehensive. It contains also excellent pictures that explain methods and techniques in laboratory medicine. Dr. laposata has done a wonderful job ! I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in clinical pathology and medical laboratory science.
One thing we French can agree with Americans on these days is the excellence of medical research in the United States and the quality of cross-Atlantic collaboration. I heard Dr. Laposata speak at a conference in Spain. I was very impressed. This book is also very impressive in its clarity, comprehensiveness and ease of use. I am recommending it strongly to my colleagues and residents. |

| Excellent text--very readable in a pattern-oriented approach. Would highly recommend for someone wanting basics plus on lung pathology.
I have used this book about 6 months in conjunction with all the "other" pulmonary path books (including the WHO). On difficult cases, I find this text more than any other useful and practical but encyclopedic enough for my daily needs. It reads much better than the nonneoplastic AFIP book, and the concepts are much easier to apply. The tables are great, and I have used it for some IHC questions (although Immunoquery.com is another great and frequently updated resource). I have not seen the brand new Churg 3rd edition to compare, but for less than $300, you've got to have Wick on your shelf.
'Practical pulmonary pathology' is just that - the most practical pulmonary book I have found. I am a pathology resident and wanted a concise, well-documented, all-inclusive lung book - and this is it. I especially like the infectious disease and medical lung chapters. The pictures are really good and illustrative. Furthermore, this book is organized in such a way that it is easy to thumb through and look up particular entities. I am quite happy with it. |
