Recommended in the Brandon-Hill selected list of print books and journals for the small medical library - April 2003, the pre-eminent reference on coagulation disorders is now in its thoroughly updated fifth edition. Written by more than 160 of the world's foremost authorities, this encyclopedic volume integrates basic science and clinical practice and details all that is currently known about blood clotting disorders and how to manage patients with these and related problems. This edition has been reorganized into smaller, more tightly focused chapters to help readers find information easily. A new co-editor, Samuel Z. Goldhaber, MD, has expanded the cardiology portion of the book. Other new features include a two-colour page design and more than 100 full-colour illustrations.
