“A focus of the book is on the link between haemostasis and inflammation, and the roles that platelets play in both. It also aims to describe recent advances in basic science and early results of clinical trials. The book is written for biomedical scientists specializing in vascular biology, biochemistry or immunology. … this textbook is likely to be best value for money for purchase by libraries at academic institutions … .” (Michael J.R. Desborough, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol. 79 (3), March 2018)
