Clear explanations, an easy-to-use logical layout, and abundant illustrations make Haematology: An Illustrated Colour Text, 5th Edition, an ideal resource for medical students, junior doctors, and others who need a concise, practical introduction to this complex subject. Part of the popular Illustrated Colour Text series, it offers a comprehensive overview of diseases of the blood presented in clear double-page learning units, with descriptions of the pathophysiological processes leading to disease and the principles of therapy. In addition, this fully updated text includes relevant anatomy, examination skills, laboratory and transfusion medicine, and practical procedures, making it an excellent learning tool at all levels of training.
