Annotation: The second edition of The Biology Of Disease is an introductory level text on the biological principles of human disease. The book is aimed at medical students and students on degree courses in bio-medical science. The book fuses the biological (physiological and biochemical) processes, which underlie the clinical manifestation of disease. As such, it brings together material, which is conventionally dealt with by several books. The authors have covered the fundamentals of each topic in a readable manner, which should encourage students to develop a fuller understanding, where necessary, by reference to more comprehensive text.
