response and prebiotic 
effects. The content of 
this book is extremely 
important in the context 
of  tackl ing problems 
related to deficient intake 
of dietary fiber by the 
population (the case for 
Brazil, particularly in urban centers). This information can 
be used by the food industry to introduce these ingredients 
into foods, and also by the consumer, by clarifying 
possible benefits of these ingredients and dietary fiber. The 
book serves as a reference for students and professionals 
in the areas of food, nutrition and labeling, as well as in 
product development.

HEMATHOLOGY
FARHI, D.C. Pathology of bone marrow and blood cells. 
2.ed. Baltimore: Wolters Kluwer, 2009. 422 p.
This work,  published 
in its second edition in 
2009, presents a concise 
text covering the current 
aspects of pathogenesis of 
hematological disorders. 
The i l lus t ra t ions ,  a l l

discussed in the text. The 
book is divided into four 
parts, dealing with the 
main pathologies affecting the hematopoietic system in 
28 chapters (304 pages). In the first section, the authors 
provide a brief review of hematopoiesis, addressing the 
structure of bone marrow, growth factors and cytokines 
that regulate the system as well as the extramedullary 
hematopoiesis sites after birth (liver and spleen). Also 
in this introductory part, the authors discuss techniques 
for collecting bone marrow as well as the descriptive 
aspects of the analysis. The next part briefly covers 
the constitutional system of hematopoietic pathologies 
ranging from thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies 
including rarer syndromes such as Fanconi anemia and 
dyskeratosis congenita. The reactionary non-malignant 
pathologies such as nutritional anemia, inflammatory, 
allergic and infectious diseases are covered in 16 chapters 
in part three. Finally, in part four, the clonal nature of 
diseases is discussed, namely hematopoietic neoplasias. 
In 12 chapters, the risk factors for the development 
of onco-hematology, leukemia, acute or chronic, 
lymphoma (Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s), neoplasms 
of plasma cells, T cells, B cells and natural killer cells, 
histiocytics neoplasms and myelodysplastic syndromes 
are addressed. As an appendix, the text presents the latest 
classification of the World Health Organization (2008) for 
hematopoietic tumors and lymphoid tissues. As outlined, 
the text is concise and precise in the information provided, 
constituting an important volume for use at undergraduate 
level and by those requiring a rapid update.
