Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Ravi Salgia, MD, PhD (City of Hope)
Description: Based on recent developments in the detailed descriptions of congenital bleeding and clotting disorders, and biochemical fractionation of blood coagulation proteins and cells, the molecular mechanisms underlying both physiological and pathological blood coagulation are now much clearer than they have been in the past. This updated derivative of Williams Hematology, 9th edition, Kaushansky et al. (McGraw-Hill, 2016), covers the fast-moving field of hemostasis and thrombosis.
Purpose: The main purpose is to highlight the emergence of targets for new therapies that can intervene in pathological thrombosis or help repair the blood coagulation system in states of pathological hemorrhage.
Audience: The book is intended primarily for advanced medical students yearning for additional information on hematology above and beyond the typical syllabus. Additionally, residents in medicine/pediatrics, hematology/oncology fellows, and all physicians who deal with these issues in the clinic will find this book handy to remain up-to-date on anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies.
Features: This authoritative collection includes 25 chapters, each written by leading experts in the field. Starting from the basics of megakaryopoiesis and thrombopoiesis, platelet morphology, and biochemistry and physiology of coagulation and moving on to the various disorders and treatment options, the chapters provide the most clinically relevant information in a clear and concise manner. Each chapter is well thought out and well organized with detailed tables and color illustrations with helpful legends for easy understanding. The use of different colors to highlight headings and subheadings further enhances the reading experience.
Assessment: This timely, concise, yet comprehensive book is an excellent addition to the collections of hematologists/oncologists. General practitioners, fellows, trainees, and researchers at all levels interested in hemostasis and thrombosis also should find this book very useful.
