This comprehensive text provides a clinical approach to pathology that makes it
ideally suited to medical students. With Rubin's Pathology students learn the
foundations of general and systemic pathology and gain a solid understanding
of pathogenesis and its relevance to clinical medicine. This new edition of
Rubin's Pathology retains the many features that make this text compelling
-- up-to-date coverage of the molecular and genetic foundations of pathology,
distinguished contributing authors, a student-friendly writing style,
along with a rich illustration program featuring hundreds of full-color
photomicrographs, colorful schematic drawings, tables, and other graphic
elements throughout. This edition has also been completely redesigned
according to a consistent template for each chapter, so that information
can be quickly and easily located. Even more exciting is the CD supplement
containing sample "virtual slides" -- digitized pathology specimens that students
can view using state-of-the-art "Virtual Slice" viewer software on their computers.
