Description

"Essential Haematology" is established as the most authoritative introduction to the subject for bioscience and medical students, junior doctors, laboratory scientists and nurses. This new edition is beautifully presented, introducing the formation and function of blood cells, and diseases that arise from dysfunction and disruption of these processes. Basic science, diagnostic tests and clinical features and management are all easily explained. This is the introductory text for clinical and laboratory haematology. It is also an authoritative and accessible textbook that is now fully revised. The book is beautifully presented - a joy to learn from. It features a new standardized approach to clinical features and management of disease.
