  <abstract>The second edition of Biology of Disease is primarily aimed at meeting the needs of both undergraduate and postgraduate students of the biomedical sciences. However, it will also be of utility to those studying topics related to medicine, such as clinical sciences, clinical physiology and health sciences. It should also provide an effective reference for students beginning medical school. The text will also interest students of biological sciences with a feel for clinical-related aspects of their subject areas.</abstract>
