2004-06-21 Clear and concise account of immunology

As the title suggests, this book provides a clear and concise but basic account of many of the principles of Immunology.It is very easy and interesting to read, plus the many funky colour diagrams help to reinforce the key points of the text.

It's a relatively small book (300 pages of A5), that's well laid out into 12 neat chapters, and, combined with the fact that there is a lot of cross-referecing and a thourough index means the information is very accessible.

Other features include a superb glossary and a short section at the back on 'Clinical Cases'. To summarise, this book is unique in my experienc in that it offers simple but accurate explanations of many immunological concepts, which often get obscured by detail in larger books.
