Pretty easy to understand and basically chock full of terms. A little over 1.5″ thickness. Definitely would recommend this to a student going into the medical field in any capacity (administrative, nursing, doctor, lab tech, etc).

Prostate Pathology concentrates on the salient H&E histopathology of each entity discussed with brief descriptors of the clinical features, differential diagnosis, and relevant literature references for each entity. The book features a bulleted format with H&E illustrations to match histopathologic criteria. Helpful ancillary tests, in particular, appropriate immunohistochemical panels are also summarized. Prostate Pathology provides a synopsis of all common prostate entities and covers non-neoplastic conditions, including description of normal structures, premalignant conditions and prostate carcinoma, and mesenchymal, hemotopoietic and secondary tumors.

This is an unvarnished history of vaccination going back to the first recorded vaccination given by a Buddhist nun in 10th century AD China. All verifiable pros and cons of individual vaccines are presented here. Because of this it is a very long book and most people will not read the whole text. However it is an excellent source of objective information about any vaccine. Because it presents both the good and the bad of vaccines, there will always be people who are not satisfied by the information they find. But it is better to have the real facts rather than some alternative version of reality created by people with preconceived notions.
