4.0 out of 5 stars a good review, December 13, 2005

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Immunology (Paperback)

While some Schaum's outlines are comprehensive enough to sufficiently replace introductory textbooks (Schaum's Genetics is a good example), Schaum's Immunology is not among these. This outline is formatted in a question and answer style that is well suited for review before exams. The outline does not make a good stand alone resource for independent study, however it is great as a supplementary study-aid. So while I do recommend this book for those taking a first course in immunology, I wouldn't depend on it to allow you to throw out your regular textbook or start missing lectures.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Immunology (Paperback)

Schaum's not only gives bold faced vocabulary words, but they excel at orienting the content to the field, so they give a top down view and place the content within that view. Questions and Answers are given, all are in discussion format, a little off putting if you are new to the material, would have liked a few matching and fill in the blanks also but then I am new to the field of Immunology.

Cross referencing material to other texts appears to show content fairly current.
