Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Biology of Disease describes the biology of many human disorders and disease encountered in a clinical setting. Designed for first and second year students in biomedical science programs, the book will also be an effective reference for health science professionals as well as being valuable to students beginning medical school.

Praise for the First Edition:
‘An excellent introduction to the subject of pathology, disease and laboratory diagnostics ... ideal for undergraduate students on biomedical science and related degrees.’
Alison Cottell for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education
‘When you first pick up this book and peruse the pages it is immediately encouraging. The presentation and production values are very good, the diagrams and photographs look professional and it is a substantial volume, all of which suggests a worthwhile textbook. I recommend this book to students and tutors as a text for any course on the biology of disease.’
D.J. Cook for the British Journal of Biomedical Science
Biology of Disease describes the biology of many of the human disorders and diseases that are encountered in a clinical setting. Assuming no prior knowledge of the principles of diagnostic science, chapters follow a consistent format. Each opens with a set of learning objectives, an introduction to the topic and a description of the relevant biochemistry, molecular and cell biologies and physiology. How this biology is altered during the development of diseases and their diagnoses, management and treatment are then discussed. Real cases are used to illustrate the importance of biology in understanding the causes of disease, as well as in diagnosis and therapy. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout and is now presented in full colour, with more case studies, questions and illustrations.
Key Features:
- Summarises the biological bases of common diseases
- Discusses real cases, placing basic science in a clinical context for the student
- Includes learning objectives, end-of-chapter summaries and questions for self-testing
- Extensively illustrated in full colour with explanatory line diagrams and photographs
- Is associated with additional online resources for students and lecturers, available for download at www.routledge.com/9781032284361
The second edition of Biology of Disease is primarily aimed at meeting the needs of both undergraduate and postgraduate students of the biomedical sciences. However, it will also be of utility to those studying topics related to medicine, such as clinical sciences, clinical physiology and health sciences. It should also provide an effective reference for students beginning medical school. The text will also interest students of biological sciences with a feel for clinical-related aspects of their subject areas.
