Summary: A Thorough Text for Medical students
Comment: From Preface:
"The third edition of this text has been designed as a thorough and concise guide to clinical hematology and fundamentals of hemostasis. The textbook is unique in its five-part format, featuring an introduction to clinical hematology and sections on the anemias, white blood cell disorders, hemostasis/thrombosis, and laboratory methods, allowing easy incorporation into block curricula. New chapters on the use of flow cytometry, the molecular diagnostic techniques in hematopathology, and an introduction to thrombosis and anticoagulant therapy are highlights of this edition.
Full color has been incorporated throughout the entire text. The photographs fro the 260-color-plate atlas, a prominent feature of previous editions, have been incorporated into the relevant chapters. These color figures, demonstrating peripheral smears, bone marrow aspirates, gross morphology, and clinical manifestations, enhance the text as a foundation for the practice of clinical laboratory science. In addition, the 3rd edition includes more than 300 figures (line drawings and bnw photographs) and 400 tables.
The first five chapters (Part I) focus on hematopoiesis, bone marrow examination, red cell metabolism, the pathogenesis of anemia, and the evaluation of red cell morphology. The next ten chapters (Part II) are devoted to anemias, presenting the disease processes leading to abnormal red blood cell morphology. Part III contains 9 chapters that focus on white blood cell disorders, including both benign and malignant states. Included are reviews of the leukemias, myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative disorders, plasma cell dyscrasas, lymphomas, and lipid storage disease. The new chapter introducing flow cytometry is also in this section. Part IV focuses on hemostasis, with chapters devoted to platelet structure and function, vascular and platelet disorders, defects of plasma clotting factors, and the interaction of the fibrinolytic, coagulation, and kinin systems. A final chapter introducing thrombosis and anticoagulant therapy concludes the hemostasis section.
The laboratory methods chapter of the 2nd edition has been expanded into 5 chapters, which make up the final segment of the text (Part V). This expanded format provides a more comprehensive guide to procedures routinely performed in the clinical hematology and hemostasis laboratory, including routine hematology methods, principles of automated differential analysis, special stains, and coagulation. New in this edition is a chapter on molecular diagnostic techniques in hematopathology."

Summary: Sometimes difficult to understand, and the binding falls apart
Comment: This book is okay for a student that is going to be guided through it step by step, but to use as a reference text I think their are probably better books out there. Harmening can get a little confusing on this topic at times, though I have heard that the 5th edition is a bit better. Also, the binding fell apart. I wrote the publisher and they said they would replace the book but only if i sent my old one in. I didn't want to loose all my notes/highliting so I am just going to deal with having the book fall apart.

Summary: Not all it could be
Comment: This book has become almost a standard text. But it has problems. For one, the index fails to list much of what's in the book. For instance, kallikrein, an important cytokine in coagulation, is not listed in the index, though it is talked about in the text. Abbreviations are introduced without a hint of what they stand for. The complexities of hemostasis are not well-explained. And the process of clotting is not well-organized. A good editor would have helped the authors produce a better book.

Summary: Great reference book!
Comment: When I first saw this book I got scared because of the size and weight of it, but when I finally got the courage to open it and start reading it, it surprised me! I found this book to be really good and the pictures are great and help out a lot. The case studies at the end of each chapter are really great and got me to understand more and think about the content of the chapter, which by doing that helped me to remember!! Also the last part of the book: Laboratory methods, was a great help to me both in preparing for class and when it came to writing the report, the book tells you step by step how the procedures are done. I will always keep this book for reference as I know it will help in during my career as a lab technongist.
