Allen: Histopathology Specimens
By Derek Allen
2012, 553 pages, 129 illus, $209 list
Covering anatomical, clinical, pathological and laboratory aspects of surgical histopathology specimens, Histopathology Specimens: Clinical, Pathological and Laboratory Aspects, Second Edition relates specimen dissection and its clinical context to relevant histopathology reports, and therefore a more comprehensive patient prognosis and management is possible. Histopathology Specimens: Clinical, Pathological and Laboratory Aspects, Second Edition explains pathological and clinical terminology, including a glossary of clinical request form abbreviations. A standardised step-wise approach to specimen handling is illustrated with simple line diagrams and highlights essentials of the histopathology report, relating them to appropriate specimen dissection. The integrated multidisciplinary team approach taken to the modern clinical management of patients is reflected by correlating patient presentation, diagnostic and staging investigations with histopathology specimens. Current WHO and TNM tumor classifications are referenced. Histopathology Specimens: Clinical, Pathological and Laboratory Aspects, Second Edition will be of educative value and act as a reference tool for the medical undergraduate student, medical trainee in histopathology and the biomedical scientist, and as a useful aide memoire for the histopathology consultant.

Gupta: Grossing Techniques in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology
By Manu Gupta
2012, 68 pages, 39 illus, $64 list
Gross pathology refers to the macroscopic manifestations of disease in organs, tissues, and body cavities. Grossing is a very important step in surgical pathology and inadequate sampling of the gross specimen can lead to misinterpretation of the slides. For oral and maxillofacial specimens, a careful gross examination and description are infinitely superior to the examination of a random microscopic section. This book provides a highly visual step by step guide to grossing procedure like inital handling of the specimen, from where to take sections, how to do reporting etc. Contains high quality photographs, illustrations and tables that will help readers to understand the topic easily. Although the book is an introductory text but it lays a solid foundation for post graduate students and prepare them for future.

Sanna: The Temporal Bone: A Manual for Dissection and Surgical Approaches
By Mario Sanna
2005, 144 pages, $120 list
The anatomy of the temporal bone is one of the most complicated areas in the human body. The vital structures, the three-dimensional relationships involved, and the fact that these structures are hidden within bony canals make the anatomy difficult to grasp. Described as a dream come true by the authors, Professor Sanna and his colleagues have devoted a major effort to creating this book to serve as a guide for young trainees wanting to learn more about temporal bone dissection. It provides comprehensive, high-quality, full-color pictures of the detailed steps of all the major surgical approaches that can be performed in the temporal bone, supplemented by images of cadaveric dissections as an aid to understanding the intracranial anatomy when indicated by the approach.

Weber: Shearer's Manual of Human Dissection
By John Weber
1999, 320 pages, $58 list
This highly regarded laboratory guide takes a straightforward, body system approach to human dissection with clear line drawing illustrations depicting incision lines and anatomical structure. It shows students where to cut, what to expect, and what scalpel to use to view anatomical structures. Substantially revised, this edition features updated and expanded content tailored to recent curriculum changes in anatomy teaching; the introduction of correlated radiographs to fit current teaching trends; and the use of a second color to highlight key points. Large figures, and a spiral binding that allows the pages to lie flat make the Shearer's Manual easy to handle and use in the anatomy lab.
