5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for your studies in haematology, 27 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This book is a comprehensive text covering all aspects of haematology for both under- and postgraduate students. Covering all the major topics including genetics, classification, clinical aspect and staging and treatment, it can be used at all stages of your undergraduate training. Easy to read and highly informative it is divided up into manageable chapters with haematological malignancies also covered. It uses numerous photographs to illustrate clinical features and references at the end of each chapter provide an excellent basis for further reading. Overall an essential text for both students and doctors to have on their shelves!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of detail but a useful reference!, 22 Dec 2006
By 
RjP (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Haematology (Essentials) (Paperback)
Haematology is an under-taught area of the undergraduate medical curriculum not clearly sitting in any of the general fields which as medical students we are exposed to.

This book is really well illustrated with some very insightful microscopy slides with good text to back it up and explain the material. This is in some contrast to the competition out there.

On the negative side however, there is more detail than the undergraduate needs, but this is admitted in the preface and blue lines indicate the 'extension material' which is necessary for 'honours students'!

I've always had problems with understanding haematological malignancies and this book has proven very helpful in this regard. It's a useful reference which can go a long way to addressing the gap between what is taught and what is expected! Whether you're a medical student or junior doctor this is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really is essential!, 28 April 2009
By 
S. Tillotson (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Essential Haematology (Essentials) (Paperback)
If you actually work in a hospital haematology lab I'm sure you'll be able to get this from work but I am obsessed with textbooks and therefore had to purchase my own copy! So in depth about numerous haematological conditions including haemoglobinopathies, coagolpathies, anaemias and leukaemias as well as other conditions where blood test results would be anomalous, packed with pictures, blood film scans and tables - very easy to understand but also incredibly detailed.
