In this popular text the authors set out the basics of human anatomy and physiology in a clear and concise manner, with the aid of many line drawings. In this edition coloured diagrams have been used for the first time where they offer greater clarity. The chapters on cellular structure, the tissues and general pathology have been rewritten, and the chapter on the lymphatics has been altered and expanded to provide more detail for radiography students in radiotherapy. The physiology sections throughout the book have been brought up to date and expanded where appropriate. The British Journal of Radiology said of the second edition, `In my opinion, this book will prove even more useful than its earlier edition, and will be popular basic text for the D. S. R. course.'
