Well written and easy to understand. This is probably one of the better blood banking books out there. Harmening does a good job explaing things.

For beginning blood bankers this is quite a valuable textbook. The topics covered are comprehensive in knowledge and fairly well organized. Like all textbooks that are written by multiple authors, some chapters are more difficult to follow than others, but I believe Mrs. Harmening did a commendable job editing the book. Overall, a very good book for students.

I'm a 4th year medical student, and found this book extremely helpful during my Blood Bank rotation. It is really good at explaining the concepts behind the technical procedures.

The Harmening books which span more than twenty years in the making are without question the best source of transfusion medicine practices on the market today. Content areas include genetics, molecular biology, blood groups, antibody identification, transfusion transmitted diseases, hemolytic disease of the newborn, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, etc... Contributors are experts in their field providing a wealth of knowledge to the blood banking student and transfusion medicine fellow. Every blood bank should buy this book!!

This book is not for the beginer in blood banking. It is disjointed, confusing, difficult to comprehend, and does not flow in a logical manner. It was written by several authors, including Harmening. This probably accounts for the confusing flow. May be helpful to experienced blood bankers, but if you are a begining student trying to fathom the many intricacies of blood banking, this book will make you want to tear your hair out. Without a doubt, the worst text book I have ever read and I have a master's degreee and 1.5 years toward my PhD. Avoid this book like the plague unless you have prior knowledge or experience. It will turn you off blood banking forever. I give it a D for effort (a poor and poorly edited effort).
