Humans are prone to think, dream, and remember in terms of pictures. Thus, it makes sense that students can learn better and faster with explanations given in pictorial format. As medical school curricula continue to adopt an organ-based system approach, this book, a natural complement to this style, will be used by students for years to come." - Doody's Book Review ServiceReviewVivid and compelling demonstrations of the fundamental features of disease processesAbout the AuthorProfessor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Medical School, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth); Distinguished Teaching Professor, The University of Texas System; Executive Director, The TMC Library; Editor-in-Chief, Cardiovascular Pathology (the official journal of the Society for Cardiovscular Pathology) Dr. Buja MD is a Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
