"The user-friendly layout of clear and colourful headings and
subheadings makes information easy to locate, and it is presented
in an engaging manner...A real assest of this book lies in the
apprendices, where the reader will find extremely useful
algorithims that provide at a glance diagnoses for commonly
occurring haematological problems, such as regenerative
anaemia and plateley/ coagulation deficiencies...Overall, its key
features all combine into a book that would benefit both veterinary
practitioners and students alike- providing a useful revision tool
to both parties, as well as encouraging the advancement of
knowledge across the haematological field."

"This practical book combines clear explanations of the various
sampling and coloration methods, physiology of the blood cells and
an impressive collection of pictures.Where relevant, clear boxes
summarize the key clinicak features and diagnostic
hypotheses...This is a good tool to sit next to the
microscope."
Tomorrow Vets, January 2013
"This book is designed as a ready reference for all with an
interest in veterinary haematology, from the student of veterinary
medicine through to t he specialist in clinical pathology. This is
a new edition of a previously published book and I think it will be
universally seen as an improvement on what was already an excellent
resource. Without doubt, the feature of this book which
distinguishes it as a must-have is the number and quality of
illustrations, both photomicrographs and drawn figures...The style
of this book is to present haematology from a physiological and
pathophysiological perspective. Chapters are divided into sections
on erythrocytes, leucocytes and coagulation, rather than being
divided according to diagnosis: for example, infectious diseases,
neoplastic diseases, intoxications. As a clinician I find the
chosen approach more useful as it supports a problemoriented
approach to the case management style of learning more than the
scholarly approach to learning which starts with the diagnosis and
works backwards.
