Recensioner i media

"In clear, concise language this book truly does explain complex concepts about the pathology of common disorders. As an introductory textbook it offers the student ample background information aided by clutter-free illustrations and photographs that help to visualise and conceptualise the topic... The text is structurally sound and the informative, easy-to-follow layout enhances its overall suitability for nursing students with little or no knowledge of pathophysiology... It is an excellent book for those being introduced to the subject."
