Comprehensive guide to the structure of living bodies, with a focus on disease and abnormal form.
This book presents a broad view of pathological anatomy through general concepts and detailed organ-focused sections, helping readers understand how structure relates to disease.
This edition emphasizes a comparative approach, linking human anatomy with observations from other animals to deepen insight into morbid changes. It aims to be a practical reference for students, clinicians, and researchers seeking a clear, organized overview of how irregularities arise and are studied.
- Clear framework: general vices of organization and the specific parts of the body, from tissues to the nervous and vascular systems.
- Structured contents: two major parts—general principles and the particular organs—arranged for easy navigation and reference.
- Historical and practical context: notes on how theories and observations shaped the study of pathology.
- Illustrative scope: discussion of diverse morbid conditions and their anatomical manifestations.
Ideal for readers of medical reference works, pathology students, and practitioners seeking a thorough, organized overview of comparative pathological anatomy.
