Editorial Reviews

Review

New England Journal of Medicine, Volume 17, Issue 355 -- "This has been the gold standard among textbooks disseminating these advances since its debut in 1982. The rapid expansion of knowledge makes the fifth edition of Hemostasis and Thrombosis a welcome replacement for the previous edition. The list of authors of the book's 123 chapters reads as a who's who in the field. This is an outstanding, fairly priced book that remains the reference standard, providing a tremendous amount of current information on the subjects of hemostasis, thrombosis, and vascular biology at both the basic and clinical levels."
