A modern text that combines the fundamentals of methodology with key elements of interpretation, this book blends business and management issues, analytical principles, and clinical material for practicing pathologists, residents, fellows, and laboratorians. The text is organized into three major sections: laboratory management, instrumentation and methods, and analysis and clinical correlation. The first section addresses issues essential for running a profitable laboratory; modern techniques and instrumentation are examined in the second section; and the analysis and clinical correlation section provides the reader with numerous diagnostic algorithms that illustrate common work-ups and problems. In addition, case studies selectively illuminate specific clinical issues.

Multimedia is making some progress; this CD-ROM reaches toward using the technology to enhance learning (rather than as a novelty, unsuccessful either as entertainment or pedagogy, as we've seen in earlier, over-hyped multimedia products). It presents visuals that can be rotated 360 degrees, audio and text "captions," and some 200 animations that do, fairly successfully, convey visual conceptions of such activities as heart blood flow, smelling, hearing, breathing, etc. The product is carefully conceived, and will serve nicely as a novel supplement to introductory texts on the subject, for students who have access to the needed computer power. Available in separate Macintosh and Windows versions; needs 486 DX, Windows 3.1, 8 Mb RAM. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
