Anwar Sheikha, MD
I extensively used the first edition of this book in my teachings to the medical & postgraduate students. After a life time of being through most of the textbooks of hematology, I thought of it as best of the lot. With that enthusiasm, I might have been the first one to purchase the second edition. Actually, I bought it during the ASH meeting when it was still blank papers inside a model light blue cover! Although I try to persuade myself that it is an excellent extension of that great book, I still need sometime to reach that conclusion. I do not know why I feel that the first edition was stronger in its contents. The best thing about this edition is its accompanying CD. An extremely powerful resource that can be put in the bag and be used anywhere. Most of the figures and tables can be used directly for teaching purposes. In conclusion, I think this book is the bible of hematology that could be a sole resource for people from the professorial hierarchy of the trade to the hematology laboratory technician. ...

Hematology of infancy and childhood
For over 35 years Nathan and Oski's Hematology has been the precious companion for the pediatrician in pediatric hematology or the pediatrician on the ward looking for answers to thorny clinical questions. The present heavy book on my desk is the seventh edition. The oncology part of this book has been taken out in this edition and a new textbook (Oncology of infancy and childhood) created to deal with this vast field (see another review in this issue).


Personally I am very fond of history, because I believe it is important to know our past in order to understrand our present and future, so I am very delighted to again see the first chapter of this book with the history of pediatric hematology put in perspective by Wolf Zuelzer, who passed away in 1987 and updated by David Nathan. I am especially happy to see the reference to two of my mentors from my time at the University Hospital (Rigshospitalet) in Copenhagen, Svend Heinild (1907-1994) and Preben Plum (1906-2002), who as general pediatricians also contributed to the field of hematology with their research and treatment.


The chapter on the Thalassemias is also very profound and saw the discussion of the alpha Thallassemia with intellectual disability/mental retardation, which is rare but maybe an under-diagnosed entity.


All in all a book that should be in the library of every pediatric department around the world.

hematology ofinfancy and childhood- Nathan & Oski
the book is a classic tecnical hematologytextbook for hematologists and pediatrics and in the new edition, with the on line access , it's been better.. very good..

5 stars since it's the heme book for peds.
Not practical for general pediatrics or clinical hematology. More molecular and cellular than i thought it would be. For attendings, libraries, depts. Don't read unless you're going to do a presentation to a bunch of MD PhD's or something like that.

Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's magnificent mountaintop home in Charlottesville, Virginia, has attracted public attention ever since Jefferson's day, when sightseers regularly visited the grounds in hopes of catching a glimpse of the former president. Today, each year more than half a million people from around the world visit Monticello, the only home in America on the United Nations' list of World Heritage Sites that must be protected at all costs.

Thomas Jefferson's Monticello is a superb collection of essays, adorned with beautiful color photography, that showcases this American treasure. Designed by Jefferson himself, Monticello is a model of elegance and symmetry. It is also home to Jefferson's world-class collection of art and porcelain from France, scientific instruments from England, the finest American furniture from Philadelphia and New York, and enduring furnishings made in Monticello's own joinery by enslaved craftsmen. The celebrated gardens and grounds form an experimental yet breathtakingly lovely landscape featuring flowers, fruits, and vegetables of the Old and New Worlds.

Featuring essays by Monticello's scholarly staff, this stunning book explores all aspects of Jefferson's home. A section on the plantation and the enslaved community at Monticello provides a larger context in which to place and understand the house, its activities, and its owner. ... Read more

A credit to Jefferson's Monticello
I have toured Monticello, and the stunning pictures in this tastefully put-together book does Monticello proud. Also the writings and diagrams within the book describing how Monticello came about, and something about the genuis patriot who designed it is very well done and most interesting. This book is well worth the price, and would make a wonderful gift.

Like Visiting Monticello!!
After visiting Monticello and being awestruck, I could hardly wait to visit again. This book makes me feel as if I am there again. The photography is superb and the text so engaging. I am in love with this book as much as I am Monticello itself. I highly recommend it!!
