"The 6th edition of Schalm's Veterinary Hematology is acomprehensive textbook that primarily targets veterinary clinicalpathologists, pathology residents, and staff within veterinarydiagnostic laboratories. It is also a valuable reference forinternists, specialists in laboratory animal and wildlife medicine,and graduate students, but is unlikely to be used as a standardtextbook for a clinical pathology course in veterinary schoolsbecause of its size and cost." (Veterinary Clinical Pathology,2011)

Numerous contributing authorshave lent their expertise to provide excellent in-depth coverage oftopics.
