This leading text reflects both the new direction and explosive growth of the field of hematology. Edited and written by practitioners who are the leaders in the field, the book covers basic scientific foundations of hematology while focusing on its clinical aspects. This edition has been thoroughly updated and includes ten new chapters on cellular biology, haploidentical transplantation, hematologic manifestations of parasitic diseases, and more. The table of contents itself has been thoroughly revised to reflect the rapidly changing nature of the molecular and cellular areas of the specialty. Over 1,000 vivid images, now all presented in full color for the first time, include a collection of detailed photomicrographs in every chapter, selected by a hematopathology image consultant. What's more, this Expert Consult Premium Edition includes access to the complete contents of the book online, fully searchable and updated quarterly by Dr. Hoffman himself.
The book contains predominantly black-and-white illustrations, with some two-color illustrations.
In less than a decade of existence, this textbook has swiftly established itself as an authoritative and reliable reference source in the hematology field. It appears to me that among the four major textbooks, Hematology: Basic Principles and Practice has achieved the most harmonious and balanced blend of basic science and clinical information. It is a welcome development of the past decade in the field of hematology.

This third edition is a comprehensive compilation of both malignant and non-malignant hematology. The previous edition was published in 1995. The purpose, according to the editors, is to provide a resource for both beginners and experts eager to learn about the science and practice of hematology. They have achieved this laudatory goal rather well. The book is targeted for a broad audience including both clinical hematologists and bench scientists at all levels of training. The editors are all eminent authorities in their respective fields. This edition is particularly exhaustive in coverage of hematology with numerous new contributors and chapters being added. For example, the emerging area of stem cell transplantation is now extensively covered in depth. A unique feature of this textbook is the inclusion in most chapters of the contributors' preferred work-up and treatment of a clinical entity; this feature is particularly helpful to the non-expert. Also of benefit is the liberal use of charts and tables, which reinforce the main points of the text. The book could have benefited from color glossies, especially in the presentation of hematopathology slides. This third edition is a truly remarkable textbook with a thorough yet highly readable presentation of the hematology field. While the primary purpose is to provide a standard reference, it can very well be read from cover to cover. The quality of chapters is uniformly excellent with virtually all topics covered by experts in the field. This third edition compares favorably with other hematology references, including William's Hematology and Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology.

"Reflect[s] the state of the art. This is an excellent textbook that will appeal to a broad range of readers."
This new edition of a text about the science and practice of hematology reflects the new directions and growth of the field as an academic and clinical discipline. It includes expanded information on stem cell transplantation as well as the personal strategies of many practitioners for the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic disorders. The 160 chapters discuss molecular, cellular, and immunologic bases; biology of stem cells and disorders of hematopoiesis; red blood cells, host defense and its disorders; malignancies; transplantation; hemostasis and thrombosis; transfusion medicine; consultative hematology; and special tests and procedures. Contains many b&w and color illustrations. The editors are professors of medicine associated with leading medical centers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
