A comprehensive explanation of the preparation and interpretation of blood films and blood counts. Designed to be used in the laboratory, special emphasis is placed on morphology and normal and abnormal characteristics are fully illustrated with colour photographs and explanatory line-drawings.

Leukaemia is a complex group of diseases characterized by abnormal changes in any or several of the types of white blood cells. Because of the complexity of the various leukaemias, a systematic classification is essential to all involved in the study, analysis and assessment of the condition. This volume will be a comprehensive visual guide to the most important of the classifications to have evolved - the French-American_British (FAB) cooperative group classification. This system is used in Haematology departments throughout the world. But despite this widespread use, details of the system have yet to be contained in a single volume. Usually they form only a small section in Haematology atlases. This book contains important background information on use of cytogenetics, cytochemistry and monoclonal antibodies and explains the difficult concepts of the system clearly. As the book is highly illustrated (with 108 colour photographs) it will also be of use as an Atlas of Leukaemia Morphology.

Lippincott, Williams, & Wilkins

This volume is a text-atlas designed for hematologists, pathologists and laboratory staff in training and in practice. The first edition was published by Times Mirror and sold 3000 copies. This edition is changed substantially; the chapters on technical aspects that originally introduced the book are now integrated into consistent sections to cover what the disease is, what films to obtain, which counts to do, differential diagnosis, and which further tests should now be performed. In integrating and shortening the technical material and eliminating simpler material covering normal ranges and typical blood counts, the author brings a stronger clinical emphasis to the book, provides a 20% increase in the text, and offers 5-10% more pictures.

Leukaemia is a very heterogeneous group of diseases with a variety of causes, disease processes and outcomes. Accurate diagnosis and classification will ultimately determine the choice of therapy and possible disease outcome for the patient. Leukaemia Diagnosis is written by Barbara Bain, an acclaimed morphologist, and provides a thorough guide to the principles of diagnosis and classification. The major methods of classification are reviewed (including FAB and MIC) as well as problems that arise in applying them, along with their strengths, weaknesses and ambiguities.  The second edition has been significantly revamped, and includes many more full colour illustrations to describe the disease entities in more detail and to assist in diagnosis. It also reflects the major advances in our understanding of the cytogenetics and molecular genetics of haematological neoplasms.

Leukaemia Diagnosis

This unique book is written by Barbara Bain, a leading haematologist with a reputation for her educational prowess in the field. It provides a concise overview of the diseases and focuses on the selection, performance, and interpretation of the results of tests that should be offered by all but the very specialist referral centers. Where more specialist tests are required, the reader is given an overview of what the specialist center will do, with guidance on what the result will imply. This book is extremely practical in orientation and it will become an essential reference volume in the general haematology laboratory.

Haemoglobinopathy Diagnosis

Blood Cells

Morphology of the Blood pays homage to traditional morphology and emphasizes the central role of morphology in haematology even in this age of automation and molecular biology. This book has been conceived and built on the firm foundation provided by detailed morphological observation but also takes account of immunophenotypic, cytogenetic, molecular and clinical aspects of haematological disease. The book deals with the major themes of haematological pathology bringing together classical teaching with new classification and terminology. Each illustration in this book has been derived from material obtained for diagnostic purposes from patients suffering from serious, often fatal, conditions.

Bone Marrow Pathology is a practical guide to the diagnosis of bone marrow disease that places abnormalities of the bone marrow within the broader context of clinical and peripheral blood features. It gives equal weight to cytological and histological assessment and emphasises an integrated approach to diagnosis. The second edition of Bone Marrow Pathology has been expanded to give a more detailed coverage of the subject, including many more colour illustrations, with appendices of technical methods and incorporating the real classification of lymphomas. Bone Marrow Pathology gives an integrated approach to the subject and is the product of two histopathologists and one haematologist. It will appeal to haematologists, histopathologists and trainee and practising pathologists.
