4.0 out of 5 stars
Good introduction to immunology for those with limited time.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic Concepts in Immunology: A Student's Survival Guide (Paperback)
Basic Concepts in Immunology was extremely valuable in allowing me to learn the essentials of immunology in a very short period of time. The material was well organized with many figures to help with explanations. By its nature, the depth of information is limited but now I have a good foundation to learn more in greater depth from other sources. The index was not quite as comprehensive as I would have liked, but the book is short enough to easily find what you need. For immunology novices, I highly recommend reading this book before delving into a detailed textbook.
