This book explains the basic principles which may underlie abnormal structure or function and the main mechanisms of injury and disease.  In an approximate sequence of possible occurrence, these principles are examined from conception (genetics) through old age (gerontology), including growth and development (birth defects), malnutrition, physical injury, inflammation and repair, immunity and its abnormalities, infections, major vascular disorders, and cancer.
