Synopsis

 <br /><br />From reviews: <br /><br />'...This haematology textbook seems to achieve the impossible: it is short in length, broad in scope and yet <br />does not restrict itself to basic facts. Its other great strength is an extremely readable, clear and consistent <br />prose. This makes it stand out from textbooks compiled by editors but where different authors contribute <br />each chapter...' <br />Royal College of Pathologists Bulletin number 157, January 2012 <br /><br />This fully-revised edition of Haematology provides an up-to-date review of the scientific principles which <br />underpin understanding of the blood and blood-forming tissues in health and disease. It describes how <br />advances in biochemistry, physiology, genetics and cell biology have contributed to the study of blood and its <br />disorders. The book is written in an approachable style that focuses on improving understanding and <br />encourages students to think around the subject. The numerous illustrations and defined learning objectives <br />are designed to aid effective learning, while the many 'fast facts' boxes broaden the interest and perspective <br />of the material. Further reading lists and website information guide students to more detailed coverage if <br />required. <br />This book should prove useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of haematology, as well as <br />medical students and those embarking on higher professional qualifications. <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />Contents: <br /><br />1.
