The best Histology book that I've found........2007-10-08

This Histology book is the most thorough and well-written text out there. If you have no background in Histology, this book can be quite intimidating because it is content-rich. I was very overwhelmed when I first started with this book for undergrad, but now that I have gotten through it and read other titles for med school, I believe that this book is the best. It teaches Histology in a way that prepares you to be a real pathologist, using mostly light micrographs and tons of clinical correlations. Other Histology texts (e.g. Color Textbook of Histology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access) treat the subject as a general learning tool rather than as a core component of your potential specialty. They use more (and less-detailed) illustrations and electron micrographs with fewer clinical correlations and light micrographs.

Still, I would be hard-pressed to recommend this book to medical students if the book was not already required. It is probably more detailed than any medical school Histology course will be, and as a med student, your time is everything! Your time will probably be better spent in gross. Still, if you know that pathology is something you are interested in, this book is a great introduction to Histology and will better prepare you for your career than any other text.

Histology: too much text.......2007-09-16

I agree with the first and second review. I use this book as a reference for hard-to-understand concepts. As a first year med student, however, I never really have time to refer to it because it is too content-dense. I would prefer a book with more pictures; perhaps just a picture section with pointers on important points.

Excellent.......2007-07-27

This is an amazing book, excellent book, It's easy to read, good graphics, It's everything you need for completely understand of Histology

Good - For a reference Title.......2006-11-06

This book is good in its essentials. But for a course, I woulde suggest you go for a simple book with more illustrations. Its so crammed up with information, you wont be able to recognize which is important which is not. Unfortunately the authors have produced a detailed encyclopedia of histological processes in Molecular Biology, that this one cease to exist as a simple textbook for a course in the medical school.The type set is very hard to follow, you would stray away in minutes.

I give four star credit for this book since I value its contents as a reference guide for histology and the immense amout of work the editors have put on this marvellous piece.

Book Description

This atlas of functional ultrastructure provides not only a detailed insight into the complex structure and organization of cells and tissues but also into specific functions fulfilled by the various cellular organelles and the dynamics of the different processes inside cells. The large collection of electron micrographs, together with those from immunoelectron microscopy, is complemented by thorough explanatory texts and schemes. Emphasis was placed on an integrated view of structure and function to show that subcellular organelles provide the structural foundation for fundamental processes of living organisms. Specialized cell types form the various tissues, and principles of tissue organization are presented. Under various conditions of disease, characteristic structural alterations may occur which are illustrated with examples thus providing a valuable source of information for scientists and students of Medicine and Biological Sciences, particularly of Histology, Cell and Molecular Biology.

Book Description

Histology is the study of the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs. It has often been taught as a matter of memorization. Dr. Van Lommel's approach is based on the understanding that the microscopic structure of the body has a logic, and the text and accompanying images are organized to proceed according to a rigorous logic, expanding from the anatomy and morphology to discuss the functions of the various kinds of cells, tissues, and organs. The material is thus more interesting and, as an extension of that, easier to remember.
CD-ROM included.

Book Description

Immunofluorescence, a suitable laboratory method for the microscopic demonstration of antigens and antibodies in biological materials, useable, for example, to provide evidence for the pathogenesis of disease in histological or cytological preparations and for tumour cell differentiation. For this reason immunofluorescence has a decisive role as the method of choice for the diagnosis of auto-immune diseases. This primer on immunofluorescence techniques, which first appeared in 1979, is a richly illustrated handbook suitable for everyday practical work in the laboratory, useable as both an introduction to the subject as well as an atlas. In hardly any other area of medicine are there so many new findings to report. The second edition of this book is concerned not only with the detection methods which now form an essential and established part of diagnostic techniques, but also with the most recent research results such as the discovery of antibodies against Auerbach's plexus and against podocytes...

gentlemen's game.......2005-10-13

The book contains a fascinating report of two gentlemen that were the victims of two unfair events: Roberto De Vicenzo was the victim of an unfair (and recently modified) rule and Goalby was the victim of an unfair treatment by the media and some golf fans. The two of them had a very gentle reaction after the incident and remained close friends. The book is a refreshing story about excellence in sports.

Serous error in the review by Stanley Hudy "Hudy's Hardcovers".......2005-08-02

I haven't read this book, though I'd like to. There is a serious error in the review by Stanley Hudy, which is why I am writing.

He says Goalby bogeyed the last hole, and appeared to lose the Masters by a stroke. That is not what happened. Goalby made a brilliant par on the last hole, and appeared set for a playoff the next day with DiVicenzo. Instead, DiVicenzo signed the wrong scorecard, and Goalby was declared the outright winner.

Both golfers played incredible golf that last day. A miscarriage of justice, IMO, that the outcome was decided the way it was, instead of on the course.

Golfer a winner despite having Masters taken away.......2005-07-18

Golf author Curt Sampson pulls the reader back in time to the age of the 1960's when the nation was torn apart about the Vietnam War, coping with the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and presidential candidate Robert Kennedy as well as the bitter fight for the White House between Hubert Humphrey, Richard Nixon and George Wallace.
In the beginning of the spring, a tournament was played at a small, private club in Augusta, Georgia called The Masters.
It is here that once again history was made, but not in a positive manner as one golfer was elevated from virtually unknown to historic and another was declared a winner, but vilified by the media in one fell swoop, or the lack of it.
In the 1968 Masters, South American professional golfer Robert De Vicenzo appeared to be tied in a two-way tie with American Robert Goalby, forcing an 18-hole playoff.
For DeVicenzo, he was so disgusted with his won bogey late in the round, forcing the tie with Goalby that he broke USGA rule 38. He wrote down the wrong score on his scorecard, one stroke higher than he actually finished his round.
The mistake was made by playing partner Tommy Aaron on the 17th hole, giving De Vicenzo a par four, when he actually made a birdie three. Not only had the South American done so in front of a touring professional, but also in front of a nationwide audience.
As players typically keep the score of their opponents in tournaments, it was not uncommon for Aaron to keep De Vicenzo's card, but it was the British Open winner's right and duty to review his card before signing on the final, attesting line.
With De Vicenzo disgusted with a bogey on the 18th hole, opening the door for Goalby to win the championship, the South American failed to review his own scorecard, simply signed it and left it on the table before being whisked away for a green jacket ceremony.
Unbeknownst to De Vicenzo, Goalby bogeyed the same 18th hole, appeared to lose the tournament by a single stroke and gave up his shot at a green jacket.
"The Lost Masters' reviews the events that led up to that fatal moment and the triple-standards that applied to the USGA rules in previous high profile events.
Sampson reveals that the rules were bent on at least two previous occasions, but with the possibility of a foreign competitor winning the Masters, the rules should be applied correctly, strictly and without fail.
Adding to the rules infraction is Sampson's revelation of the power that the ailing Bobby Jones still held at Augusta. The once-great golfer, ravaged by a car accident resided on the grounds and was consulted by the Masters staff.
It was Jones' own ruling that decided De Vincenzo's fate.
In a single instant, De Vincenzo lost the Masters, Goalby won it, and life changed forever for both golfers.
The ever-lovable South American became renown throughout the world as the golfer who had a major championship stolen from him, the USGA became a laughingstock by comedians and sportswriters and Goalby became one of the most hated golfer's in the world.
For younger golfers who are learning the game or one who has played for years, "The Lost Masters' is a requirement for any duffer as a reminder of how important the rules are and how they are applied in the game of golf as well as the way of life.
