"Substantially updated and now multi-authored so that all aspects of haematology are equally covered, including the newest developments in molecular biology and genomic sequencing. The latter is perhaps best realized in the first chapter 'Molecular Biology of the Cell', where the text and superb figures merge into a highly readable crash course in molecular biology.....I particularly enjoyed the chapter on myelodysplastic syndromes, where clonal heterogeneity is now did actically illustrated.....There is a surplus of invention in communicating complex problems here and an admirable effort to keep the reader totally up-to-date. Of note, there is now an eTextbook version of the Atlas.....Whenever there comes a new model of your smartphone, reviews always try to decide whether you should update from your old model. I would say that there is every reason to update your atlas, even if you have the second last edition. In conclusion, should you encounter one of the knowledge hungry students (be they of medical or master of science background) asking you whether haematology is an exciting career path to embark upon, one way to answer the question would be to hand her/him this atlas for half an hour. It is a major accomplishment and an excellent recruiting tool!"- Peter Hokland (British Journal of Haematology)
