Robbins and Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease

Was soll man zu dem Buch sagen.Es ist die Bibel der Pathologie.Es dürfte eines der wenigen Bücher sein, die man selbst nach dem Studium noch gerne und tatsächlich immer wieder mit Gewinn liest.Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung.

A beautiful book- nice to hold (all 7lbs of it), awesome images, detailed explanations. Despite it's volume, I truly enjoy learning path with Robbins!

Pathology is a difficult subject - the sheer volume of material, the new vocabulary, and strikingly similar disease entities seem to conspire with each other to confuse us medical students. Robbins and Cotran is ideal for pathology in that it merges completeness of information with readability (it's about as enjoyable to read as pathology can be...). It is dense, and it can take a while to get through, but compared to Rubin's it is a much more straightforward and less "dense", while providing equivalent information. Figures are well-integrated and provide excellent examples of both histopathology and gross pathology. Normal physiology is reviewed briefly, so if you're like me and need a quick reminder, Robbins has you covered.I would NOT recommend this for cramming or trying to bone up on an entire organ system quickly, nor is it the best choice if path isn't your thing and you're more of a "just the facts" type learner - but if you are the type of learner that absolutely needs to have read everything about everything (at least for the preclinical years), this is the book for you. This is the type of book that you need to read through fairly slowly (I try to pace myself to completing the relevant chapters for an organ system over a 2-3 week block), but it definitely contains all of the information you are likely to need to do well. The (almost) encyclopedic nature and clear organization also make it my go-to when I have to go back and review something in particular.Additionally, I would recommend this over Rubin's (the other major pathology text) - the text is clearer and I prefer this book's organization. My classmates use both Rubin's and Robbins (faculty recommend using either), but those who have read/skimmed both here prefer Robbins.

La spedizione è stata impeccabile. Il risparmio è stato grande rispetto ad acquistare la versione italiana in libreria.Per quanto riguarda il libro è estremamente ben fatto, utile per seguire corsi e preparare esami delle diverse patologie. L'inglese scientifico con cui il libro è scritto è estremamente chiaro e comprensibile anche per chi non ha massima padronanza della lingua inglese.

I was told by my medical school that from the second year this is our core textbook and I can see why. It is detailed, accurate but understandable textbook. The diagrams often come in handy. Some places it retailed for £70 so I was glad to get it for less but in new condition.
