Review
"Blood admirably meets its goal of providing
accurate, easy-to-understand, detailed information about every
aspect of the production, structure, circulation, function,
testing, and use of blood and its many components. The book
is clearly organized and contains numerous features to enhance
learning. The text is highly readable and a ready reference
for students and professionals in life sciences and health
care. ... put this text at the top of the acquisition list
for any library serving students in allied health sciences
and make it essential reading for perfusionists, nurses, and
others who care for patients with hematologic disorders."
