| An elementary primer on virtually all aspects of hematology seemingly shouldn't require a completely new edition, but the author demonstrates his ability to revise the fundamentals within the context of a fresh approach that makes the fourth edition not only warranted but desired. Revisions to all chapters are evident, and the addition of eight new chapters cover developments of immunobiology, cancer of the blood, bone marrow transplantation, and more. Timeliness is evident as the material serves as the framework for recent advances in the field of stem cell biology and the application of genomics. This is a great primer that's easy to read. This 4th edition of Dailey's Notes on Blood is intended for the allied health professional and medical device or pharmaceutical sales representative requiring a solid foundation for fields in which blood or blood products and their safety are important to understand. |
