Basic Immunology: Functions and Disorders of the Immune System
Department of Epidemiology and International Health School of Public Health University of Alabama at Birmingham Birmingham, AL 352940022
Having already produced a now classic immunology textbook (1
), Abbas and Lichtman have done another good job in preparing this book primarily for students and others with little or no background in immunology. It will also serve researchers with little training in immunology well. 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. The plain language, coupled with the unintimidating size of the book, relieves the apprehensive reader
