This textbook, intended primarily for medical students, presents pathology in the context of modern medicine and cellular biology. The authors have adopted the long-established practice of dealing with general pathology (the principles of disease processes) before covering systematic pathology (specific diseases affecting individual body systems or organs). Each chapter in the systematic section begins with a brief account of the relevant normal structure and function of the organ or system, emphasizing those aspects which are pertinent to a proper understanding of its pathology. After each major heading with a chapter, where it is considered appropriate, there is a summary panel listing key facts; these have two purposes: first, to provide the reader with foundation of basic knowledge on which the subsequent details can be placed; second, to assist revision by scanning the text. Where relevant, there are brief comments on treatment and its relationship to the pathological features of a disease. Each chapter ends with a list of references to review articles or specialist texts for further reading. Although pathology extents into the realm of molecular abnormalities, much of it has a visible expression. Illustrations are, therefore, essential. This book contains numerous colour illustrations of diseased tissues at a gross or microscopic level. The morbid images of disease also, in a modern textbook of pathology, should include radiographs, computerised tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance images (MRI); these have been used where relevant. Clear line diagrams are used to depict important mechanisms or principles. The full spectrum of diseases is covered and, anticipating an international readership, many infections and parasitic infestations which are relatively uncommon in the UK are included. The variable chapter length reflects, to some extent, the relative importance or complexity of the conditions described therein. The book ends with a glossary of words used frequently in pathology, but which, by usage, have a meaning slightly different from that to be found in most dictionaries or in the public domain. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Review
Underwood's pathology is a very concise and yet full guide through the progression of diseases. It is fantastic for PBL because it gives you a basic pathological outline and explains the technical terminology as it goes. It uses some good clear flow diagrams and very memorable pictures to hammer the point home. I find it has a perfect level of detail for first and second year. Histological changes in tissues are also included which cuts down on research time. It also finds space to include other aspects of illness such as aetiology and recent advances in the field. The layout into pathologies of each body system makes the book easy to use effectively. Any time where there is reference made to another part of the book a page number is provided. The index is well detailed and accurate. It is very easy to read as the sentences are short and to the point, and paragraphs broken up by tables and diagrams. - Medical Student, University of Glasgow
"This is the definitive UK textbook of pathology...The range of coverage provided by Underwood and Cross in general and systematic pathology is excellent...This new edition of Underwood and Cross expands on previous success and cements its postition as the market leader for undergraduate UK pathology and in curricula worldwide based on the UK system." The Bulletin, January 2010
