A Colour Atlas of Thymus and Lymph Node Histopathology with Ultrastructure

This is the second and expanded edition of a well known book based on a course of postgraduate lectures covering all the main fields of haematology. The various authors use the technique of critical dogma which makes excellent teaching and easy reading of topics which are kept under up-to-date review. While remaining readable the book has become also a good reference text, but when used as such, its otherwise satisfactory index betrays some weakness such as the failure to list under Philadelphia chromosome the excellent discussions on pages 498 and 507. Perhaps the next edition, which will surely come, will be typographically more even, especially in the doubled lower case 'g's. This book will be one of the best texts in any haematology department whether for the doctors use or as part of the advanced technologist's study or indeed for any interested postgraduate whether specialist or not.
