AUSTRALIAN author ("Functional Histology 2e" by Prof. Jeffrey Kerr was awarded the Best Designed Tertiary and Further Education Book at the APA's prestigious 58th Annual Book Design awards at the Powerhouse Museum on Friday 21st May, 2010.)
The study of histology requires that students be able to recognise structures within cells and tissues at varying levels of magnification, and understand their function within the human body. Since histology is a visual subject, high quality images of cells and tissues are vital as a component of course material. In this book, concise text relates the structures seen in the images to biological function, and integrates clinical relevance by describing how the histology of tissues is affected in abnormal conditions. The book will enable the reader to critically evaluate the microscopic structures of tissues and organs and to recognize the association between morphology and cell activity with Introductory text at the beginning of each chapter summarising the key aspects of morphology A "Macro to Micro" approach, with low magnifications of organs or tissues that enable better appreciation of the relevance of higher magnification images Images and artworks integrated into the text Additionally this text reproduces in print format, histologic images that come closer to what is seen down the microscope than any other book. This has been achieved through painstaking preparation of original slides and editing to colour correct where necessary.
