| The content of this book is adequate and it is written in an easy-to-read, flowing style. It could use some more tables for comparison of immuno. panels to help in differential diagnoses, but over-all it is a decent and very helpful everyday reference. The index, however, has much to be desired. Many immunoperoxidase stains are not listed individually in a catalog style, nor are the specific cells/organs/organ structures that they stain, so unless you already know what entity a specific stain is used for or know alternate diagnoses or names, you may not be able to find it. You can't just look up a specific stain you may have heard about and want to research further. The index is a critical component of a well-written book and is just as important as text it represents--it's no use having a book full of information if you can't find what you need. I hope this issue is addressed in the next edition, in which case then, this book may reach the status of excellent.
This reference is a must have! If you are a surgical pathologist and do not have this textbook you are setting yourself up to fail. It is extremely well written and with all the color photos it is a great value for the money. I probably use this text more than any other reference textbook. The insight gleened from reading this text has saved me on a number of challenging cases. The tables are excellent and easy to read. I can't wait for the next edition. |

By: S. Renshaw ISBN: 1904842038 Publisher: Scion Publishing Ltd. Release Date: 01 February, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 762242
| Renshaw's book is geared towards the researcher in the lab, who wants or needs to use the enclosed methods. There is a modicum of theory as background for the various approaches. But the essence of the book is in the detailed experimental advice. Especially the protocols. These are written in an easy to follow fashion. But with all the necessary low level experimental steps needed for preparation.
<br />
<br />The collection of protocols might be considered by some readers to be the core of the book. However, Renshaw also provides advice on experimental design. For the instances when none of the protocols exactly fits your needs. |

| A brilliantly explained text containing extremely good applications, and above all, clear and well-referenced recipes. Most pitfalls in microscopy are the result of not following optimal processing conditions. After reading Dr. Hayat's present publication, there is no excuse for not following well-tested reliable protocols.<p>This Handbook is the most authoritative publication in the disciplines of microscopy, immunohistochemistry and antigen retrieval methods. It is expected to become a classic in teaching and research. This book should not be absent in your personal collection, as well at the library.<p>- Taken from a review by Prof. Dr. E. Marani, Afdeling Fysiologie, Leiden, The Netherlands. |
