Abstract
This book is based on the American College of Physicians course in hematology for internists given at the University of Rochester The book is somewhat disjointed because of the numerous contributors 26 in all The text is divided into four parts dealing respectively with anemias problems of hemostasis myeloproliferative disorders and disorders of the lymphatic systemIn the section on anemias there is no chapter on irondeficiency anemia which is certainly the most common type of anemia and probably the most common disorder in the world Yet there is a 15page chapter on Heinzbody disorders and a tenpage chapter on sideroblastic anemias both relatively uncommon conditionsThere is no section in the book on blood banking or irnmunohematology although the brief chapter on transfusion therapy is very useful Nor is there any section devoted to infectious mononucleosis Although the chapter on diffuse intravascular coagulation is a little skimpy the section
