This text offers medical students a case-based approach to learning the mechanisms of renal disease. Each chapter covers a disease, beginning with a patient case and followed by a discussion of the pathophysiology of the disease. Issues of differential diagnosis and therapy are linked to pathophysiologic mechanisms. Short questions interspersed throughout the text require students to apply their knowledge. Detailed answers to the questions are included.

Gr 4-6-Like other biographers of this esteemed medical researcher, much of the authors' task is to describe the horror of poliomyelitis and the effects of itsepidemics to an audience that will have little knowledge of the disease itself thanks in large part to Salk's work. In this case, the biography includes so much information about the disease, microbiology, and immunology that the first five or so pages of text (out of about 35) are so dense in content that younger readers may have trouble finding the book's subject. The last third of the text holds tighter focus on Salk including his professional disagreement with Albert Sabin and his reputation as a prickly character.
Molecular Cell Biology presents the key concepts in cell biology and their experimental underpinnings. The authors, all world-class researchers and teachers, incorporate medically relevant examples where appropriate to help illustrate the connections between cell biology and health and human disease. As always, a hallmark of MCB is the use of experiments to engage students in the history of cell biology and the research that has contributed to the field.
