“This monograph is devoted to the presentation of pulmonary manifestations of hematologic disorders. … Senior critical care trainees, pulmonologists, intensivists, and hematologists are an appropriate audience. … This book brings a unique and effective combination of pulmonary and hematology expertise to bear on pulmonary manifestations of blood disorders. Chapters are brief, detailed and readable. Medical intensivists, in particular, will find this work helpful.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2017)
