Featuring 450 large full-color illustrations, this comprehensive atlas shows how more than 200 disorders can disrupt the human body's equilibrium. It is designed to help healthcare professionals visualize disease processes, understand the rationales for clinical interventions, and explain to patients how diseases develop and progress.
Introductory chapters illustrate basic pathophysiologic concepts including cells, cancer, infection, genetics, and fluids and electrolytes. Twelve chapters organized by body system cover all major diseases, with illustrations, charts, and brief text on causes, pathophysiology, signs, symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment.
This Third Edition includes eight new disease entries and updated information throughout. A new icon, Complications, highlights the typical progression of untreated disease.

I have purchased quite a few books to supplement my textbooks for nursing school. A lot of them sit on my shelf and I don't find the time to pull them out and study them. Not this one.By Heather W.
This book for me, helps me visualize the disease--the pathophysiology that makes one disease different from another. I can just pull it out long enough to read and visualize about most of the disorders we're studying. It is NOT a pathophysiology text--it's not that detailed. It's "this disease in a nutshell."
Each disease has an introductory section, causes, pathophysiology, complications, signs and symptoms, diagnostic test results and treatment. Plus a full page illustration to help visualize what is going on (with some terms and descriptions). There are other sections like "age alert" and "clinical tip".
Just wanted to share, because I have found it a great help and feel it's worth it. I think it cost $60. to buy it through the Lippincott magazine.
Like so many other reviewers, I wish I'd had this book in mursing school; it's that good. It begins with information on basic cellular function and information on fluids and electrolytes and acid-bace balance. The bulk of the book takes common disorders from each of the systems and explains the pathology easily and simply. The facing page to each disorder is a schematic drawing of the disease in process that helps cement the information into understanding.By DonsterRN
However, don't be misled. This is not a pathophysiology textbook. It is an excellent source for visualizing the disease process for many disorders, but it's not a replacement for the minutiae of pathophysiologic study.
This book would have been a wonderful help to me in studying A&P as well as nursing. Now, as a practicing RN, I am certain that this book will be used frequently. I'm probably going to buy a copy to donate to the nurse's station.
