Substantially updated, revised, and enhanced, this fifth-edition text has grown from 91 chapters in the 2001 edition to 123 chapters and has undergone changes in organization and emphasis. Affiliated, respectively, with five different institutions (Temple University Hospital, U. of Washington, Brigham and Women's Hospital, UCLA, and the U. of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center), five editors shape the work; one is a cardiologist replacing retired founding editor Jack Hirsh, leading to new emphasis on thrombosis as it occurs in the setting of cardiovascular and pulmonary vascular disease, among other areas of new coverage. Arrangement is in two broad sections on basic principles, and on clinical applications. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
