“My lifeline. Without this book, learning hematology would and could have been so much harder. The questions at the back of each chapter are very helpful. Especially the charts and diagrams.” – Online Student Reviewer

“A really good hematology reference book… A good range of really nice pictures and graphics as well as much information about each of the topics as you will need for a 2-year, 4-year degree and beyond.
