The images include a wealth of macroscopic images, light

microscopy images depicting numerous staining methods and electron microscopy images. Where applicable there are useful tables and schematic drawings for easier understanding and recall. Last but not least the index is very detailed and comprehensive making a search for the basic definitions or findings for a topic of interest speedy and rewarding. The preface states that the general intention of this edition, similar to the previous editions, is to provide a concise introductory text covering the basic morphology of lesions underlying diseases of the nervous system, limiting pathophysiological considerations to essential principles and purposefully excluding historical, clinical, neurological,

radiological imaging data and reference listings. In my SCH772984 solubility dmso opinion, this is exactly what the book provides. Although the information provided in the book is a concise and ‘basic’ introduction to the various diseases of the nervous system and their underlying pathology; this edition, similar to previous editions, will surprise the reader with how much valuable information, covering nearly whole spectrum of neuropathological processes, can be included in just over 400 pages. There is no online check details access or accompanying CD-ROM for image download. However, in my opinion this is an insignificant downside for a practical diagnostic manual providing up to date information on

a broad range of nervous system and skeletal muscle pathologies for a price of £65.00. As a concise easily readable introductory text, with numerous high quality illustrations supplemented with short clear figure legends, this book is a ‘must-have’ for anyone wishing to learn or revise the basics of neuropathology; be they a student, trainee, experienced specialist or scientist. The spectrum of readers who would find the book of value is broad. In addition to pathologists it would provide an excellent introduction Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase to neuropathology for those in clinical specialties, such as neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, neuroradiology, neuroendocrinology and neuroscience. In view of the valuable updates, I am very glad to add this new edition on the bookshelf right next to my old well-loved, hence very much worn-out blue book. I would recommend you to do the same! “
