This is the best color atlas I have seen. As a student, this has proven to be an invaluable tool in laboratory. I have recommended it to every other student in my laboratory. The photographs have amazing clarity and consistency. The text beginning each section and descriptive text following each photograph provides indispensable additional information for identification and understanding. It is very rare to see the backgrounds for each of the photographs a pristine white, so that the fine details can actually be distinguished. Each section is written with great care and with complete forethought. Even though this may not matter to many, but to me, the fact that is was spiral bound shows the amount of consideration to detail the author put into this atlas. There is nothing more frustrating then trying to keep a book open to the correct page, the ability for a book to be able to be lain flat on a table, and the having no problems with binding (e.g. broken binding resulting in loose pages). The comprehensive index helps you find a cell's information and/or photograph with just one quick glance. The amount of pages doesn't even begin to show the amount of knowledge that is encompassed in this book. You can believe this, as I go thru my student courses & when I begin my career as a clinical laboratory professional, this book with remain on my shelves as a ready-reference for any questions I may encounter along the way.

This atlas is a student's dream come true. It is very well organized and beautifully illustrated. With its very affordable price tag, every student interested in hematology should have the Carr/Rodak Atlas in their own library!

This is a really good atlas for a person who see cells at work.
I like it, is small, easy to use and the pictures are very good.

Excellent book for beginners.It is simple and to the point without waffle.Beautiful pictures with good resolution.
Improvements: expanded differential diagnoses and more pictures of the same features showing variations that we see in practice.

I'm using the atlas now as a reference material in the hematology section and the details are well illustrated...I recommend it to Hematologists and Medical Technologists(in general).

I like this book for blood cell maturation pictures and descriptions. I really like the spriral binding for ease of use. The only complaint that I have is that it does not use all three origins for describing the cells, even if the infrequently used names were in parentheses, it would be better than eliminating them entirely, i.e. Proerythroblast (pronormoblast, rubriblast). I had to write all over the book including all of the naming conventions, so I thought they should have been included.

This is the lab atlas selected as "most preferred" by the hematology staff at my lab.

This book was my best friend through hematology and advanced hematology. Exceptional pictures of all cells and their developmental stages, as well as many pictures of various abnormalities. I used it through two heme classes and to brush up before clinicals. My clinical site was very impressed with the atlas and purchased one to keep with their reference materials.

This is a very good book for lab folks -- good reference, good pictures. Most Laboratory Techs/Med Techs have this on their shelf. The pricing listed by these folks is CRAZY though--the newest edition (3rd) is listed at $63.00. Maybe the dumb folks who missed the decimal point on their listing and priced it at $990 will fix their error!!

Very nice atlas for the money. Nice pics and illustrations, especially the hematopoiesis series. There is a bit of empty space in the book which I wish the author would have filled with more pics and/or illustrations. Depending on your needs there are better books but much more expensive. Free shipping but when I was tracking the book it stayed in Phoenix for about 4 or 5 days before being delivered to Flagstaff.
