The book -thanks to .com.- arrived as scheduled. But then my problems started: this textbook was recommended by some Faculty members at the City University of Hong Kong for my TEACHING next fall. I registered with Pearson as indicated and then contacted many, too many times the "Tech Services" of Pearson requesting the "teacher's package" and -besides ONE computer-generated message- I NEVER got ANY answer of the company. Besides -as too many textbooks published on paper- this one is already obsolete: e.g. the mechanisms of action involved, as well as the new (finally effective) treatments of multiple myeloma are not mentioned; and this is true of most chapters. How can I trust such a textbook to teach my students who will be facing life-and-death decisions in 3-5 years? I could live with that and do update my teaching on a daily basis. But the promised, PAID FOR material that would save me time to prepare my presentations has not materialized. It is a sad and frustrating lesson that I have learned and shall share it with my colleagues.
This book was used for my intro hematology class. As a reference it is very detailed, however it is not a good book to learn hematology for the first time. It is highly granular and doesn't focus on concepts. Because of this, our lectures and tests were very based on rote memorization without the bigger picture of the biological concepts. The former is what students forget immediately, the latter is what students remember for much longer.
Great book!! Easy to read and understand. The case studies on each chapter really help to put everything together.
Really this not a text book actually this is a treasure and I do recommend all haematologist to own it .
Great product.
Other than my dog removing the index after the first night, it was great!
Excellent and well written. Good reference for any hematologist.
It's a great book, and it arrived right on time
