Stereology Books
The SRC produces clear and authoritative books with minimal jargon and mathematics for users of unbiased stereology and computerized stereology systems. These books are designed for beginners, students, technicians and experienced bioscientists interested in expanding their knowledge base and applying unbiased stereology to biological tissue. 
"This book is a valuable addition to the current literature on stereologic methods. Beginners will find it useful and easy to read. The text will also offer an excellent support for stereology courses as it provides the reader with sufficient technical background without being overwhelming with mathematical details, and is designed for a 'hands-on' approach to learning stereologic methods, unlike other books on the subject. The author's expertise is in neurobiology and neuropathology, but clearly this book is not targeting only 'neurostereologists'; investigators from all domains of biology, as well as geologists, material scientists, and engineers, will benefit from reading and using it." Dr. Patrik Hof, Professor, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY.
 In August 2011, The Johns Hopkins University Press published
