".it is an excellent publication, providing a springboard into the fascinating discipline of haematology at all levels, including medical students, MRCP students and, I have to say, a superb primer for MRCPath candidates. In addition, if you have to teach medical students, the chapters in the book clearly provide the essential haematology. It remains at the top of my basic reading list." The Bulletin of the Royal College if Pathologists ".an excellent book, and relevant to years 1 to 5. It gives that other classic, Churchill-Livingstone's "Colour Illustrated guide to Haematology" a damn good run for its money (I'd say this one wins it by a nose)." On previous editions:"This is a beautiful book.

packed with superb colour figures, laboratory and clinical illustrations, and is magnificently laid out. The text is clearly written, contains excellent, up-to-date background science, comprehensive clinical and laboratory data and sensible advice on the management of a full range of haematological disorders. My own students were delighted to see a copy and were unanimous in their view that this is a high quality bargain." Journal of Clinical Pathology "The molecular and biochemical aspects of modern haematology are simply and clearly explained throughout, so encouraging students to read further from the comprehensive reading list at the end of each chapter. The diagrams are particularly clear and pertinent, and the black & white plates are of reasonable standard for a book of this size. It is a difficult book to fault and must take first place as the undergraduates' handbook for haematology." British Medical Journal Published Reviews of the 4th Edition "In summary, it is an excellent textbook and can be wholeheartedly recommended." Northwing, vol.
