Review & Description

This classic, succinct, well-illustrated textbook simplifies neuroscience content to focus coverage on the essentials and helps students learn important neuroanatomical facts and definitions. Descriptions and illustrations of the regional anatomy of the central nervous system are followed by accounts of the functional pathways. The level of treatment is suited to increasingly shorter neuroanatomy courses for medical and allied health students.

The Ninth Edition features new and improved artwork, updates in current trends and terminology, and additions/updates to the Cranial Nerves chapter and Cells of the Nervous System chapter.

A companion Website offers online text, more than 450 interactive multiple-choice review questions, case studies, glossary, eponyms, abbreviations, an expanded version of selected chapters, and images from the book.

Review & Description

Written by the author of the classic medical student text Essential Histology, this volume uses a case study format to help students relate histology to clinical medicine. Each chapter focuses on an organ system and begins with clinical case histories, illustrations of biopsied tissues, and challenging questions about the tissues and medical conditions. Dr. Cormack then delineates the medically relevant histologic features of the tissues that comprise the organ system. At the end of the chapter are discussions of the cases and thoroughly explained answers to the questions. More than 300 photomicrographs and line drawings, including 162 in full color, complement the text.Clinically Integrated Histology is an ideal guide for problem-based learning or other forms of self-directed learning. It is also valuable when used in conjunction with Essential Histology to focus students' attention on the clinically important concepts emphasized on exams.

Review & Description

This CD-ROM with accompanying manual will introduce medical, allied health, and undergraduate students to the logic of anatomical thinking and the microscopic structure of the body's tissues. Its correlation of low power with high power views, the quality of its images, and the ease of using the CD will be particularly attractive features. It is not a full electronic atlas with hyperlinks of pictures to text but rather a review of morphology that supplements the history lab where students look through a microscope at slides of tissue specimens.

Review & Description

This atlas’s distinctive, full-color, schematic illustrations have earned lasting renown for superb explanation of basic histology concepts. This edition includes 120 newly improved illustrations; an additional nine micrographs; and a new chapter on cell biology. The atlas presents its hallmark magnification of the minutia of organ and tissue structures to show the functions of microscopic structures and how functions work. Part One explains tissues and their relationship to their systems; Part Two addresses organs in a similar way.

A brand-new electronic supplement now allows students to practice identifying structures in micrographs using a "labels on/labels off" toggle, "hotspots" (a mark on an image indicating the presence of a hidden label, ideal for self testing), and a self-test for productive learning. An instructor's version of the image bank is also available, which includes an additional 600 images not found in the book.

Review & Description

Now completely revised and updated, this ground-breaking text focuses on the borderland between histology and pathology. The text describes human histology and its variations, with emphasis on avoiding overdiagnosis or misdiagnosis of normal variants. Presented by leading international specialists in thology,histopathology, anatomical pathology, surgical pathology, and neuropathology, the text is innovative, well organized and generously illustrated. Coverage includes the structure, composition, and function of tissues from a pathologic perspective; a systematic review of each major organ system, as well as structures of special significance; and histologic subtleties, such as unusual variations in staining reactions, little-known fixation artifacts, and frequently missed gross observations.

This edition is reorganized to better reflect an organ-system approach to histology. Immunohistochemical findings in normal tissues have been added, based on the latest antibody panels.

A bound-in CD-ROM image bank is included.

Review & Description

Ever since the threads of seventeenth-century natural philosophy began to coalesce into an understanding of the natural world, printed artifacts such as laboratory notebooks, research journals, college textbooks, and popular paperbacks have been instrumental to the development of what we think of today as “science.” But just as the history of science involves more than recording discoveries, so too does the study of print culture extend beyond the mere cataloguing of books. In both disciplines, researchers attempt to comprehend how social structures of power, reputation, and meaning permeate both the written record and the intellectual scaffolding through which scientific debate takes place.
    Science in Print brings together scholars from the fields of print culture, environmental history, science and technology studies, medical history, and library and information studies. This ambitious volume paints a rich picture of those tools and techniques of printing, publishing, and reading that shaped the ideas and practices that grew into modern science, from the days of the Royal Society of London in the late 1600s to the beginning of the modern U.S. environmental movement in the early 1960s.
