"This atlas and instructional text is intended for use by pathologists, dental specialists, and interested students. These are admirable goals ... . It is a good introduction as the title implies ... . The author is an outstanding, well established expert in this field. ... The diagrams and photographs are truly outstanding. The gross photographs of tissue specimens are the best I have seen in any book ... . This stands alone in the field as a replacement for extinct texts ... ."
