PY - 2021 T2 - Junqueira's Basic Histology Text and Atlas, 16e AB - Publication of the 16th English edition of Basic Histology marks the 50th anniversary of the book's creation by L. C. Junqueira, M.D. and colleagues. That edition, the first histology textbook published in soft cover, was compact, concise, highly readable, yet authoritative and quickly set the standard by which subsequent textbooks in the area of histology and cell biology would be judged. After Dr. Junqueira's death I accepted the McGraw Hill editors' challenge to maintain this high standard with the English edition and strove to improve all aspects of the book's utility for the modern student in the health professions while maintaining its compact size and ease of use. Based on its position as a perennial best-seller among Histology textbooks on Amazon and its selection as a Core Title in the Health Sciences by Doody's Book Review Service, Junqueira's Basic Histology clearly continues as the preeminent source of concise yet thorough information on human tissue structure and function. For five decades this educational resource has met the needs of learners for a well-organized and summarizing presentation of cell biology and histology that integrates the material with that of biochemistry, immunology, endocrinology, and physiology and provides an excellent foundation for subsequent studies in pathology. The text is prepared specifically for students of medicine and other health-related professions, as well as for advanced undergraduate courses in human tissue biology. Because of its value and appeal to students and instructors alike, Junqueira's Basic Histology: Text and Atlas has been translated into more than a dozen languages and is used in medical schools throughout the world.
