Review

"This edition is even better than the previous ones. The introduction of an associated website will make it even more useful for students. This book would be a worthy prize winner. The quality of writing and all other aspects are, in my opinion, outstanding and a great achievement for the authors."
BMA Awards 2005
"'Underwood Pathology' is one of the great brand names of medical undergraduate textbooks. The brilliance of the book is in making concepts clear enough to grasp, without skimping on the detail. The format and layout of this latest edition are virtually identical to the excellent 3rd edition, the most notable difference being the great thickness of the newer text. Underwood has always been the best book on the market, in my opinion, and this updated version further improves this 'classic'. Go buy."
