He takes the students by the hand and explains histology clearly and concisely, so that afterwards one can optimally recognise and understand the histological correlations. There are numerous references to physiology & biochemistry and relevant clinical-pathological relationships are explained. Price latest edition 2022: 54 € (Elsevier Verlag).
