Ideal for identifying cells at the microscope, this atlas covers the basics of hematologic morphology, including examination of the peripheral blood smear, basic maturation of the blood cell lines, and discussions of a variety of clinical disorders. Over 400 photographs, schematic diagrams, and electron micrographs illustrate hematology from normal cell maturation to the development of various pathologies.
Numerous illustrations include excellent schematic diagrams, photomicrographs, and electron micrographs.
Introductory chapters succinctly describe the peripheral blood smear, its preparation and examination, and hematopoiesis in general.
Coverage of cellular maturation includes schematics that illustrate the maturation of each cell line individually and highlight the cell in question.
Descriptions for each cell type include size, reference intervals, and nuclear and cytoplasmic characteristics.
Body Fluids chapter covers the other fluids found in the body besides blood, using images from cytocentrifuged specimens.
White blood cell differential table shows cells found in a normal white blood cell differential.
Overview of hematopoiesis includes a schematic drawing along with a detailed presentation of each cell, demonstrating the relationship between individual stages of hematopoiesis and the overall development scheme.
Morphologic abnormalities are presented in chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with a schematic description of each cell, to provide correlations to various disease states.
Coverage of common cytochemical stains, along with a summary chart for interpretation, aids in classifying malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders.
Spiral binding and a compact size make this book easy to use in a laboratory setting.

NEW Normal Newborn Peripheral Blood Morphology chapter covers the normal cells found in neonatal blood.
More examples of specific cells and disorders allow you to compare abnormal cells to each other and to normal cells, differentiating those that are similar.
Expanded Evolve resources include case studies, study questions, links to related websites, and content updates.

Book Review 1:

Book that I ordered was in good shape for a used book.
GREAT JOB!
Thanks

Hematology Necessity:

This book was my best friend through hematology and advanced hematology. Exceptional pictures of all cells and their developmental stages, as well as many pictures of various abnormalities. I used it through two heme classes and to brush up before clinicals. My clinical site was very impressed with the atlas and purchased one to keep with their reference materials.

Simple and to the point:

Excellent book for beginners.It is simple and to the point without waffle.Beautiful pictures with good resolution.
Improvements: expanded differential diagnoses and more pictures of the same features showing variations that we see in practice.

Great descriptions and pictures:

I like this book for blood cell maturation pictures and descriptions. I really like the spriral binding for ease of use. The only complaint that I have is that it does not use all three origins for describing the cells, even if the infrequently used names were in parentheses, it would be better than eliminating them entirely, i.e. Proerythroblast (pronormoblast, rubriblast). I had to write all over the book including all of the naming conventions, so I thought they should have been included.
