This established hematology text enters its Fourth Edition with even more of the focused coverage and learning tools that have made it so successful. Well illustrated and user-oriented, this new edition features extensive study and review tools, including learning objectives, case studies, procedure boxes, and review questions.
Very informative, but there were a few editing discrepancies, esp with the formula for the MCH on page 502, where the calculations have MCV= hemoglobin x 10/dL divided by red blood count,etc . It should read MCH =, not MCV, just one of the grossly obvious mistakes in this edition. Or the exact definition for both DIC and Disseminated intraocular coagulation ,which is the same thing, but it seems redundant to repeat them one after the other. I also had a problem with the use of abbreviations without a key, I had to go online and Google LUCs, which means large unstained cells. The author is highly educated and sometimes provides too much information and at other times, assumes we know what the abbreviations mean, which I found having to go back often to find the context if I put the book down,
