Te strength and popularity of this textbook has been its simple language and comprehensiveness that has essentially remained unchanged since its inception. Professor Singh’s eye for details and his meticulous writing style has always been popular amongst the generations of medical students. Although all the chapters have been revisited and thoroughly revised, we have taken special care to retain the basic essence of the book. To make this standard textbook fulfll the needs of today's generation of students, some new features have been introduced in this edition. A new chapter on Light Microscopy and Tissue Preparation has been added to acquaint the students with the basics of histology. Every student of histology is expected to identify the slides and diferentiate amongst them in a perfect manner. To make the students familiar with the various slides, Histological Plates have been added in each chapter that include a photomicrograph, line drawing, and salient features that are visible while examining under the microscope. Each chapter has been rearranged to provide sequential learning to the students. All the diagrams have been redrawn and many new illustrations have been added for easy comprehension of the basic concepts. Clinical and Pathological Correlations have been added at relevant places for creating an interest of the students in the understanding of pathologies associated with various tissues. For providing an overview of histology to the student and for quick recall, an atlas has been provided at the beginning of the book. Te atlas includes more than 80 slides of histological importance along with their important features. As envisioned by Professor Inderbir Singh, this textbook is of utmost utility not only for the undergraduate students but also for the students pursuing postgraduation in Anatomy. Keeping this in mind, advanced information on various topics has been included as Added Information to cater to the needs of postgraduate students. Te revision of this book was a team efort. We are thankful to our colleagues for their constant encouragement throughout our venture. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our staf in the Histology laboratory for preparing the slides for photography. We are thankful to Dr Sawti Tiwari for her important contribution in drawing some of the fgures. We are grateful to Professor Ivan Damjanov, an esteemed teacher and expert in the feld of pathology well known across the globe, for allowing us to use some of the slides from his collection. We gratefully acknowledge Professor Harsh Mohan, a well known surgical pathologist of India, for providing pathological correlations in the book. We are thankful to Dr Sunayna Misra [M.D (Path.), PGI Chandigarh] for her valuable suggestions and inputs especially in the pathological correlations.
