Well-known for its authoritative and comprehensive coverage, complete treatment of pediatric pathophysiology, and the most extensive illustration program in its field, the 5th edition of this classic book has been extensively revised and updated.

Summary: Exhaustive coverage for nursing majors
Comment: The book is extremely thorough. Each section (body system) is broken down into chapters - the first of which is usually an A&P review. Then, after the A&P review, you get into disorders of that particular system for adults and children. The book is well illustrated and - depending on the depth you need to study - some topics can be studied and reviewed by the tables and the illustrations alone.
My biggest complaint is the endless abbreviations used oh so frequently throughout the text. It really slows one down to have to stop and recall an abbreviation like "HPT system." When you have 130 pages of pathophysiology to knock out by Monday...you get the idea. (By the way, that would be the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid system.)

Summary: The best patho book out there...and great for A & P, too
Comment: As both a student & educator, this is by far the best patho book I've come across. It is also wonderful for review of anatomy & physiology. I love the way the chapters are sequenced with normal A & P of each system, followed by a chapter on patho related to that particular system. Gives you a picture of "this is how it ought to work" and then "this is what happens when it doesn't work properly." This book ought to be on every healthcare students bookshelf regardless of discipline.

Summary: Good to have for reference
Comment: If you want to know how fight or flight started in the microscopic detail this is your guide. This book gives you the fine detail on how parts of your body work and they start at the cellular level. Good book!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good
Comment: My teacher made this book a required text for my class. I am glad that she did, because the book is very informative and goes into good enough detail for me to understand the cause and effect of a disease.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This text is disorganized
Comment: I feel the guyton pathophysiology text is much better. This text covers subjects over several chapters. For example if you look up fever you will have to go to six places to read and get the whole pathophysiology on fever. The layout does not make sense. I will be selling this text when I am done with class.
