Please note these updates to texts on NSH webpagelist
http://www.nsh.org/education/studyaids.html.
*IMMUNOHISTOPATHOLOGY: A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO DIAGNOSIS, J. M. Elias, 1990
(Out of Print) ASCP Press, 800-621-4142 has a new edition put out this
year. I am not sure of title, but it covers more subjects than previous
edition which has been out of print for years.
*THEORY & PRACTICE OF HISTOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES, J. Bancroft & A. Stevens,
4th ed., 1996, (ISBN #0443-04760-X). Churchill-Livingstone, 800-553-5426
has a new FIFTH edition, same title, with M Gamble and J Bancroft as
Editors, 2001.
John Kiernan also has a new editon in paperback, titled Histological and
Histotechnical Methods: Theory and Practice, ISBN# 0750649364, Oxford
University Press, 800 451-7566 or www.oup-usa.org. I think you can get
this one through Amazon.com.
I strongly suggest anyone taking these exams get a histology atlas in order
to identify/familiarize themselves on tissue/organ morphology. Wheaters
Functional Histology, a text and colour atlas by B Young and JW Heath,
Fourth Edition, 2001 is excellent, and comes with a CD, and is an
inexpensive paperback. ISBN# 0443 05612 9 from Churchill Livingstone.
The color photos plus written explanations are superior and simple to follow.
Hopefully, NSH will update their webpage soon with the newer titles/texts
available.
