Wheater's Functional Histology

Preface to the Third Edition 

'The emphasis remains on human tissue, with animal tissues being sued onlu where suitably fixed specimens of normal human tissue were not available.' 'Although we recognise that the book is widely used as an atlas and laboratory study guide, we have continued to see the captions as representing a comprehensive text pitched at the needs of medical and other undergraduate students for whom histology represents but a small part of their biological studies. The emphasis remains on important principles rather than esoteric details. In many respects the format reflects the approach used by teachers ion the classroom situation where discussion is based around illustratiojs, with important principles being developed and reinforced with a variety of technicques; at the same time, more detail is constantly being added to the framework and correlated with tissue and organ function.'

There are new editions out on this book, so being an older edition this is nice for someone who is collecting all the editions of the book.
