Because of its small size, it is easy to handle and can be carried around in the clinic and on hospital rounds. This book is exceptional compared to other books in the field that I refer to in my everyday practice..." "This new edition definitely justifies replacing the previous one since many new therapeutics have emerged and there have been rapid advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of benign and malignant disorders of blood."
