Another in McGraw-Hill's Basic Concepts series, this unique book covers the subject of pathology in a way which is similar to a lecture covering, emphasizing, and clarifying the most confusing aspects of pathology. It begins by first covering the basic concepts and mechanisms of general pathology and then progresses to the application of these concepts and mechanisms to systemic pathology and different organs. The emphasis is on comparing and contrasting similar terms, ideas, processes, and diseases which typically confuse students.
