Atlas of Human Parasitology 5th edition by Lawrence R. Ash and Thomas C. Orihel is a comprehensive guide for the identification and diagnosis of human parasites. Complete with color illustrations. Clarity. Amount of photos extremely useful. The other good features are the life-cycles and the methods present within the book. The book is sturdily bound and printed on high quality paper.
The biggest obstacle in the way of this beautifully illustrated atlas is its rather unreasonable price-tag. Its publisher (and authors) did overlook the fact that there are lots of moderately priced equivalents out there in the market. Nevertheless, anyone who goes ahead and purchase this atlas will appreciate its versatile accomplishments. It is very practical, and included high resolution photographs and micrographs.
"Atlas of Human Parasitology" has a unique organization, which enabled it to provide comprehensive laboratory information. Every specimen it portrayed was labeled and analyzed in details. There is complementary taxonomical description in each case. This is a well-compiled atlas. This book is recommended to any laboratory, or person interested in parasitology.
