A comprehensive text of practical clinical hematology. Clearly and concisely written for use as a reference or 'at the bench.' One of the most useful materials in the Hematology laboratory.

This book is written primarily for the laboratory, and the haematologist. In that area it is excellent, for clinical treatment, williams or other books are better. But for the laboratoru I would reccomend this book, as I have this and several of the previous editions.

Although this is an excellent textbook for medical students and hematology fellows who need to learn more about certain topics and diseases, it offers limited assistance to the clinician who has to work backwards from lab results and symptoms in search of diseases. It covers the molecular biology of hematology in great detail and also discusses some of the treatment options. It is a great book if you are doing a paper on a hematologic topic. There are also chapters on the new techniques used in labs and the differences in these techniques. On the other hand, if you are looking at abnormal results on a CBC, this book may not offer much help.

This product is excellent! The full-colour and attractive format make it a joy to read. It's informative and up-to-date. Definitely a good buy!

I live in Brazil and always thougth it would be dificult to have an easy buying by internet. I started looking for this book in the internet because it was not avaiable at the bookstores here in my town. I found it quicker and cheaper, and for my surprese it came in 15 days. Total satisfaction!

extensive discussion for some of the rare disorders of the Hematology , this book has been reviewed in JAMA.
