The second edition of The Biology of Disease is an
introductory level text on the biological principles of human
disease. The book is aimed at medical students in degree courses in
biomedical science.
The book fuses the biological (physiological and biochemical)
processes which underlie the clinical manifestations of disease. As
such, it brings together material which is conventionally dealt
with by several books. The authors have covered the fundamentals of
each topic in a readable manner, which should encourage students to
develop a fuller understanding, where necessary, by reference to
more comprehensive texts.
- Integrates basic science and clinical medicine.
- Detailed case studies at the end of each chapter which
emphasise the clinical setting.
- New chapters on transplantation immunology, anaemia, toxicology
& poisoning.
- The use of non-technical language for the descriptions in the case studies to ensure that all students will comprehend the underlying principles.
