This text stresses clinical relevance in order to provide the reader a feel for the mechanisms of disease. The graphic material is exceptional, including electron microscopy and light microscopy photographs and original Frank Netter drawings, and is well suited to an understanding of the function of fundamental cellular constituents. The text on each page is correlated with the accompanying graphic material; the textual material is well organized and eminently readable.
