Editorial Reviews

Review

"Continues to be the definitive reference for pediatric hematologists and oncologists."
-JAMA,February 2004



'now in it's sixth edition, Nathan and Oski's has long been considered THE reference book for paeiatric haematology. Across two volumes it covers all aspects of the subjectm split into manageable and well written chapters... Each chaoter is well structured usually beginning with the aspects of normal development and physiology, before then going on to deal with the pathological state, makinmg some of the more difficult concepts much easier to understand. the first volume deals mainlyt with neonatal haematology, ,arrow failure and red cell/haemoglobin disorders, and the second woth malignant haemotolgy and haemostasis... Overall, I feel that this is an excellent book and altyhough it has a relatively specific target audience it would be a very useful addition to the bookshelf of any haematologist.'
