Most review copies are eBooks – how fast!
A review copy request is most likely to be fulfilled as an eBook on VitalSource rather than a print product, unless no eBook is available. eBooks become available in as little as a few hours. Print products will take between 7 and 10 days to arrive. To request a print copy, please contact the Evolve Support Center or your Education Solutions Consultant.
Any student who attempts to request a review copy will be reported to the school's faculty and administration.
Featuring hundreds of full-color photomicrographs, this text prepares students for jobs in the clinical lab by providing a complete understanding of hematology and hemostasis. It shows how to accurately identify cells, simplifies hemostasis and thrombosis concepts, and covers normal hematopoiesis through diseases of erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid, and megakaryocytic origins. Easy to follow and understand, this book also covers key topics such as working in a hematology lab, the parts and functions of the cell, and laboratory testing of blood cells and body fluid cells.
Newer Edition Available
-
- NEW! Taxonomy levels (cognitive levels) are added to each learning objective and review question on the Evolve companion website, along with the corresponding learning objective number for each review question, showing that your course covers all taxonomy levels for NAACLS accreditation.
- UPDATED, full-color illustrations make it easier for students to visualize hematology concepts and show what they’ll encounter in the lab, with images appearing near their mentions in the text to minimize flipping pages back and forth.
- UPDATED chapter on molecular diagnostics covers new technology and techniques used in the lab.
- NEW coverage of hematogones in the chapter on pediatric and geriatric hematology helps students learn to identify these cells, which is useful in diagnosing some pediatric leukemias.
- Instructions for lab procedures include sources of possible errors along with comments.
- Learning objectives begin each chapter and indicate what students should achieve, with review questions appearing at the end.
- Case studies in each chapter provide opportunities to apply hematology concepts to real-life scenarios.
- Hematology/hemostasis reference ranges are listed on the inside front and back covers for quick reference.
- Hematology instruments are described, compared, and contrasted.
- A bulleted summary makes it easy for students to review the important points in every chapter.
- A glossary of key terms makes it easy to find and learn definitions.
-
- NEW coverage of hematogones in the chapter on pediatric and geriatric hematology helps you identify these cells, a skill that is useful in diagnosing some pediatric leukemias.
