Praise for the First Edition:'an excellent introduction to the subject of pathology, disease and laboratory diagnostics ... ideal for undergraduate students on biomedical science and related degrees'Alison Cottell for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education'When you first pick up this book and peruse the pages it is immediately encouraging. The presentation and production values are very good, the diagrams and photographs look professional and it is a substantial volume, all of which suggests a worthwhile textbook. I recommend this book to students and tutors as a text for any course on the biology of disease.'D.J. Cook for British Journal of Biomedical ScienceBiology of Disease describes the biology of many of the human disorders and disease that are encountered in a clinical setting. Assuming no prior knowledge of the principles of diagnostic science, chapters follow a consistent format throughout. Each opens with a statement of learning objectives, a basic introduction and a description of normal physiology. These are followed by a discussion of how the latter is altered by the disease process and comprehensive coverage of the scientific principles underlying disease development, diagnosis and treatment. Real cases are used to illustrate the importance of biology in understanding the causes of disease, as well as in diagnosis and therapy. This second edition has been thoroughly and revised and updated throughout and is now presented in full colour with more case studies and increased illustration.Key Features:Summarizes the biological bases of common diseasesDiscusses real cases, placing basic science in a clinical context for the studentIncludes learning objectives, end of chapter summaries and questions for self-testingExtensively illustrated in full colour with explanatory line diagrams and photographsAdditional online resources for students and lecturers available for download from https://www.routledge.com/9781032284361This book is designed to meet the needs of undergraduates on biomedical, clinical and healthcare science programmes, and is also suitable for those studying relevant units at postgraduate level. Nursing and biological science students interested in disease should also find it useful..About the Authors:Nessar Ahmed is Reader in Clinical Biochemistry, Department of Life Sciences, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.Qiuyu Wang is Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Science, Department of Life Sciences, Manchester Metropolitan University, UKChris Smith was formerly Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry, School of Biology, Chemistry and Health Science, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
