Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is an excellent book. It provides a well-balanced clinicohaematopathological approach to the full range of haematological conditions, leading the reader quickly to the important facts. The text and tables link the haematopathological and clinical context exceptionally well, and help the reader to understand complex and evolving areas of classification. The impressively large number of illustrations demonstrates the relevant features well, and without exception are of excellent quality. The fact sheets provide excellent summaries of clinical and pathological information. The book's range is comprehensive.
The highest praise that I can offer this book is to say that, as a practising clinician who does not normally peer down the microscope, this book has whetted my appetite for improving my understanding the pathology of my field of clinical practice. I will undoubtedly use this book a great deal." BMA Awards 2007

This review is from: Hematopathology: A Volume in Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology Series, 1e (Hardcover)

Very nice overall book for benign and malignant hematopathology. Nice charts, tables, figures and diagrams with high quality pictures. Like any multi-authored textbook, some chapters are better than others. Good book for residents and general pathologists. Perhaps lacking some details required for hematopathologists. The only book that might be a little better in this subject area is Kjeldsberg's book Practical Diagnosis of Hematologic Disorders, Fourth Edition. In the end, you won't go wrong with this book if you can afford it and spend the time to read it.

This review is from: Hematopathology: A Volume in Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology Series, 1e (Hardcover)

Quality books on hematopathology that are of practical use for the daily working pathologist are few.Many are out of date or print. The WHO book which is out of print for some time was of some help for many of us. I find this new title in hematopathology an excellent replacement in this field that many pathologist would like to have on their shelves. I hope it will be kept uptodate.

Don't let this book's small size fool you...it is very well organized with excellent text, tables and images. There are very few times recently that I've needed more information than was available here. I've been critical of some books within this series, but this is one is highly recommended.
