This book is an excellent resource for pathology of the abdomen and small parts. Often her text is concise and easy to read. I find that she provides excellent ultrasound images as a basis for understanding complex pathology. Not the best book for normal anatomy and normal variations. I find that Curry and Tempkin offer a more detailed explanation of normal images and anatomy.
