This is the first edition of the book, closely modeled after the Hem/Onc syllabus at Harvard Medical School. The authors have done a phenomenal job for a first edition. The book is small, nicely organized, the writing is excellent, and it makes for easy reading (sufficient detail, not overwhelming but not glossing over important points either). My guess is this is one of those books you read once and remember the content years later. We've used it for our Hem/Onc class, and my classmates and I were very impressed. Hem/Onc is no joke, and could easily get out of hand. This book was instrumental in my solid understanding of the foundations.My only complaint would be against some of the pictures (not the pathology pics, but the illustrations of concepts). Some of the illustrations aren't very intuitive, and the labeling isn't sufficient. Moreover, all images can use more elaboration, rather that just saying "refer to text".Overall, a very solid book. Can't go wrong with it.
This was a very education book. It is probably a little too technical for the lay person (like myself) however you can glean a tremendous amount of information from it. I think the book provided a good overview of many of the blood disorders.
I was taking a hematology class for my CLS (major, the professor was known to be hard, I bought this book in the summer and learned all the charts in it (the book is small and a fast read, it tell you was you need to know for the test). I highly recommend this as a pre-read, it help you pick out what is important in lecture and the think hematology book.
Great Text. Hematology is a very complicated study. This book presents information in a clear and easily understandablemanner. Great for learning, review, and teaching.It has many illustrations, diagram and pictures.I highly recommend this book.
Its not complicated, it describes the hallmark and the pathology in a simple way. Useful images and short chapters. U can easily read it un 2 days. Highly recommended
Outstandingly clear and concise intro to hematology for 2nd year med school. Appreciate the abundance of full-color images. A mod. number of review questions. Doesn't cover tx in depth.
