This major revision of a standard haematology textbook for medical students outlines the fundamental principles of clinical and laboratory haematology, linking blood disease manifestations to new insights into disease processes. It highlights how advancements in molecular biology, immunology, biochemistry, and physiology have enhanced our understanding of normal blood formation and its disruptions in various diseases. The influence of molecular biology is particularly notable in inherited conditions like thalassaemia and haemophilia, as well as in discussions on growth factors and leukaemogenesis. The book also covers an expanding range of treatment options, including dedicated chapters on bone marrow transplantation and managing bone marrow failure. Clarity is enhanced through the use of color in line diagrams, and all blood and bone marrow appearances are illustrated with color photographs. This resource is ideal for medical students preparing for final exams, post-graduates studying general medicine and haematology, and professionals such as nurses involved in caring for patients with blood disorders. The revision includes full-color illustrations, updated clinical relevance, and contributions from a new co-author, alongside a refreshed design and artwork throughout.
