Editorial Reviews

Review

"Today's immunology, at its current level of complexity, could not be put into 232 pages of text in a more comprehensive, yet accessible, way." - American Journal of Epidemiology, review of previous edition

"The real strength of the book lies in the masterly and clever construction of the colourful, bold annotated diagrams which constitute about half of the book...In my opinion, the authors of this textbook have achieved their aim of making immunology both accessible and fascinating to current and future generations of clinicians." Primary Dental Care, April 2010

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, June 6, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Basic Immunology: Functions and Disorders of the Immune System Third Edition, With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book. The glossary and table of all the CD##s are worth the price. The text splits the difference between an engaging overview like "How the Immune System Works" and a definitive reference like Janeway. I found this book to be very helpful in medical school. For someone with little to no background in immunology interested in getting a reasonable med student introduction I'd say start by reading "How the Immune System Works" then move onto "Basic Immunology" to get the details.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great immunology textbook., February 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Basic Immunology: Functions and Disorders of the Immune System Third Edition, With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Paperback)
It provides what it claims; a simple, easy to understand, upto date, immunology text with great, full color pictures and nice tables. I have used this book for three consecutive years now to teach an immunology course to medical students and neither they, nor I have been let down by it.
