Finally! A book that works easily for visual learners!! I precept lots of new grads and new RN's (new to critical care) and I find this is a useful tool to help them put all the written/spoken theory together and understand Hemodynamics.

This book is not for the beginer in blood banking. It is disjointed, confusing, difficult to comprehend, and does not flow in a logical manner. It was written by several authors, including Harmening. This probably accounts for the confusing flow. May be helpful to experienced blood bankers, but if you are a begining student trying to fathom the many intricacies of blood banking, this book will make you want to tear your hair out. Without a doubt, the worst text book I have ever read and I have a master's degreee and 1.5 years toward my PhD. Avoid this book like the plague unless you have prior knowledge or experience. It will turn you off blood banking forever. I give it a D for effort (a poor and poorly edited effort).

Editorial Review:

Modern Blood Banking and Transfusion Practices continues to set the standard for teaching and learning modern blood banking. Thorough, yet concise, the fifth edition begins with a review of basic science, plus the history of blood preservation, and continues to provide students with a working knowledge of modern blood banking as it focuses on the how and why of transfusion practice, presenting a perfect "crossmatch" of theory and practice.

• Opening Case Studies present real-life scenarios to apply concepts presented in each chapter.
• Learning Objectives and Review Questions work together to list expected outcomes and then test those concepts for each chapter.
• A Bulleted Summary highlights the key concepts at the end of each chapter.
• Hematology/Hemostasis Reference Ranges inside the front and back covers provide quick reference.

Editorial Review:

The AJCC Cancer Staging Manual and Handbook, prepared by the American Joint Committee on Cancer, are used by physicians and health care professionals throughout the world to facilitate the uniform description of neoplastic diseases. Proper classification and staging allow the physician to determine treatment more appropriately, evaluate results of management more reliably, and compare worldwide statistics reported from various institutions on a local, regional, and national basis more confidently. The fully revised and updated Sixth Edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual brings together all currently available information on staging of cancer at various anatomic sites and incorporates newly acquired knowledge on the etiology and pathology of cancer. As more is learned, cancer staging must adapt to accommodate new information and this revised edition provides an evidence-based staging system based upon the established tenets of TNM classification. All of the TNM staging information included in the Sixth Edition is uniform between the AJCC and the UICC (International Union Against Cancer). Organized by disease site into 48 comprehensive chapters, the Sixth Edition features much-anticipated, major revisions to the chapters on melanoma and breast cancer. Numerous new line drawings illustrate key anatomic sites throughout the text. Additional user-friendly enhancements include: * a concise summary of changes in the TNM classification since the previous edition at the start of every chapter * color-coordinated page tabs for easy access between chapters * a CD-ROM packaged with each Manual containing printable copies of each of the book's 45 Staging Forms for both individual and institutional use * a comprehensive index The Sixth Edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual and Handbook remains the essential reference for oncologists, pathologists, surgeons, cancer registrars, and medical professionals worldwide to assure that all those taking care of cancer patients will be trained in the language of cancer staging

One of the best med school texts 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This is by far amongst the best medical school texts (not incl. board review stuff) out there. The 4th ed. covers all areas of hematology in a lucid, non-verbose style. I found it easy to read assigned sections for my Heme course in a timely and efficient manner. There is a good blend of pathophysiology and biochemical mechanisms essential to understanding disease processes; however, the presentation is straightforward. The text has frequent color cartoons, images, graphs and tables, which helped me visualize concepts. Moreover, modern diagnostics and treatment rationale are also adequately explaned. Overall, I am really glad i purchased this book, and plan to keep it for future reference.

Editorial Review:

Essential Haematology is established as the most authoritative introduction to the subject for bioscience and medical students, junior doctors, laboratory scientists and nurses. This new edition is beautifully presented, introducing the formation and function of blood cells, and diseases that arise from dysfunction and disruption of these processes. Basic science, diagnostic tests and clinical features and management are all easily explained.

THE introductory text for clinical and laboratory haematology

• An authoritative and accessible textbook now fully revised
  
• Beautifully presented – a joy to learn from
  
• Features a new standardized approach to clinical features and management of disease

good book for phelbotomy students 4 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.

I think this is a pretty good book for phelbotomy students. The book goes into great depth about various blood tests and the equipment used. The language used was simple enough for laypersons to understand. This book also prepares you for the National exam.

I am not a medical professional, terrific book! 5 out of 5 stars.

As a layperson who wants to help people type thier blood with home blood typing kits, but be responsible about disposal, this books is a gem of information. The surprise for me is how much marvelous information is contaianed beyond responsible bloodletting. This book contains some anatomy, and describes the body systems. I would like to take a course on this subject, but they are available only to students of nursing, etc. With free shipping, and Amazon.com convenience and availibility, you can't beat this book!

Editorial Review:

This is the most timely and comprehensive source of blood and specimen collection information available on the worldwide market. Provides today's health care professionals with the latest safety guidelines; condensed information about new federal regulations; updates on equipment and supplies; new NCCLS standards and hazard prevention techniques; and extensive coverage on transcultural communication skills for all ages. Medical Technologists, Medical Technicians, Medical Assistants, Specimen collection supervisors, Laboratory Managers/Directors, Nurses. Also, a valuable resource for hospital laboratories, out patient clinics, physicians' office practices, and emergency rooms.

Excellent book! 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I used this book for our heme/oncology organ segment in pathology and thought it was a wonderful book! It taught me well what I had not been able to fully understand before, and I can see myself still using it as a reference during clinical rotations.

Editorial Review:

This is the first comprehensive, accurate introductory text on hematology for medical students. The many topics of hematology are covered and each chapter begins with an overview and then proceeds to an outline of key concepts for each specialty area. The text includes simple line drawings, algorithms and color plates, and features bulleted points and bolded key words. With its depth, and concise format, this book serves as a thorough text, general reference, and a review for the USMLE Step 1 exam, and is a valuable tool for the internal medicine clerkship rotation and exam.
