Praise for the First Edition:

‘an excellent introduction to the subject of pathology, disease and laboratory diagnostics … ideal for undergraduate students on biomedical science and related degrees’

Alison Cottell for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education

‘When you first pick up this book and peruse the pages it is immediately encouraging. The presentation and production values are very good, the diagrams and photographs look professional and it is a substantial volume, all of which suggests a worthwhile textbook. I recommend this book to students and tutors as a text for any course on the biology of disease.’
