The 401 pages of this soft-covered book include 10 chapters covering general topics such as' Tissues and Tissue Re-sponses to Injury','Inflammation and Repair','Infectious Disease', and'Genetic and Metabolic Diseases'. There are 42 pages of glossary and an index. The subject matter covers selected aspects of biology, physiology, genetics, and general pathology. The author, in his preface, suggests that the book is aimed at'students in the health professions'. It is too superficial for medical students and attempts too much for nurses or physiotherapists. The 21 case histories, ranging from 4 to 12 lines long, are a good idea, but often their complexity seems confusing. The case history illustrating'Inflammation and Repair'is of a chronic alcoholic with diabetes mellitus who has' classic'pneumococcal pneumonia followed by cardiac arrest, aspiration of gastric contents,'general'pneumonia, right-sided (lung) abscess, and dies from'progressively ineffective oxygen exchange and increasing cardiac failure'!In one paragraph of the chapter on the circulatory system'arteriosclerosis','atherosclerosis', and'medical sclerosis' are all used but it is not clear whether the author thinks these are all aspects of the same process or are separate entities. The black-and-white photographs are frequently difficult to understand. Excessive jargon irritates.
