  The Biomedical Sciences Explained series has been designed specifically to meet the needs of today's undergraduates studying biomedical sciences. Each volume in the series covers a key biomedical science topic, enabling the student to select the volumes required for their chosen topics, and build up their own 'personal textbook' in biomedical sciences. Using the BMS Explained Series students can build up their own 'personal textbook' in biomedical sciences, written specifically for them, rather than buying an enormous textbook which is too detailed when only studying a topic for one or two modules. Each volume provides a core of knowledge from which the student can then go on to more advanced study in their chosen subject. 'Haematology' emphasizes the scientific principles which underpin our understanding of the blood in health and disease. It seeks to integrate knowledge of biochemistry, physiology, genetics and cell biology and apply them to the study of the blood, although little prior knowledge is assumed.

  From reviews:

  '...This haematology textbook seems to achieve the impossible: it is short in length, broad in scope and yet does not restrict itself to basic facts. Its other great strength is an extremely readable, clear and consistent prose. This makes it stand out from textbooks compiled by editors but where different authors contribute each chapter...'
  Royal College of Pathologists Bulletin number 157, January 2012

  This fully-revised edition of Haematology is written in an approachable style that focuses on improving understanding and encourages students to think around the subject. The numerous illustrations and defined learning objectives are designed to aid effective learning, while the many 'fast facts' boxes broaden the interest and perspective of the material. Further reading lists and website information guide students to more detailed coverage if required.
  This book should prove useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of haematology, as well as medical students and those embarking on higher professional qualifications.
