Schalm′s Veterinary Hematology - Hardcover

"The 6th edition of Schalm's Veterinary Hematology is a comprehensive textbook that primarily targets veterinary clinical pathologists, pathology residents, and staff within veterinary diagnostic laboratories. It is also a valuable reference for internists, specialists in laboratory animal and wildlife medicine, and graduate students, but is unlikely to be used as a standard textbook for a clinical pathology course in veterinary schools because of its size and cost." (Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2011) "In the sixth edition of the classic Schalm's Veterinary Hematology, the editors have achieved their stated goal of making the extensive amount of information that is provided accessible, cohesive, and readable. Numerous contributing authors have lent their expertise to provide excellent in-depth coverage of topics. Outlines at the beginning of each chapter and cross references among chapters are extremely useful to readers." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, December 2010)"The sixth updated edition of Schalm's Veterinary Hematology is a 'must' for any vet's library. It's been extensively revised and reorganized for better accessibility, grouping topics within disciplines and packing in over 550 images along with new sections on lab techniques and toxicity. Expanded sections on species-specific hematology and new photos and discussions make this far more than a casual update, and a 'must-have' bible of facts no vet or college-level reference collection should be without!" (The Midwest Book Review, October 2010) "Arriving 10 years after the previous edition, this is a welcome update and expansion of the book that has long been considered the ultimate reference for veterinary hematology. This remains an excellent reference for the field, unparalleled in scope and depth. Though greatly expanded and reorganized, the new edition is more accessible and easier to read than previous editions." (Doody's, September 2010)
