 good text July 1, 2009

I used this for our Haematology course in 2nd year medical school. It is an excellent text, easy reading, concise. For anyone needing just the basics in Haem, this is a great choice.
Lacks Details, Thorough explanations November 22, 2008
Monkey Business (East Lansing, MI)
If you are already familiar with hematology and simply need a quick refresher, this is the book for you. However, as a medical student learning some of this material for the first time, I found this book to be lacking the detail and explanations necessary to establish a solid understanding of the subject. There are a couple nice figures, but overall I recommend sticking with a text like Robbins.

I am a medical student in Jamaica. I have found this book to be very detailed for undergraduate studies. I think the book is clear and precise.
 Glaring error in text about mast cells April 11, 2007
N. Gould (Christchurch, New Zealand)
2 out of 10 found this review helpful
The first thing I looked at to check on the quality of this book as an overview of hematology was the information about mast cells, a subject I know well. There is little text about these bone marrow-derived cells, but they are said to be basophils that have moved into the tissue. It has been known for at least 8 years that this is not the case, and the hematopoietic lineage of mast cells has been clearly defined for at leat 3 years.
Someone has to write a better Heme book March 25, 2007

This book is average, at best. It is an easy read, but you walk away asking whether you really learned anything new. I ended up using Harrison's to study heme because I found this book very inadequate.
