Reviews from previous edition:

"This is a very comprehensive book, and would serve postgraduates well in addition to students embarking on pathology…It is well written by people who know their subject well, and know what information it is important to convey…All the vital areas you might want to read up on are covered more than adequately."
MAD, The Student Magazine for Medics & Dentists at Bart's and the London

"I think that this is the best of the bunch...much more relevant to our course and a sound investment for the future."
Sphincter, Liverpool Medical Students' Society Magazine



CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 1 review)

This book knows its stuff  
I bought this book wanting to study undergraduate immunology before I took the upcoming class. This book, however, is definitely not for beginners. It assumes you know certain terminology going into it. Regularly, you will stumble upon bold words like "low-affinity Fc(gamma)RIII receptors" with little explanation. There is a great deal of knowledge in this book. If you have your basic background, then I would recommend this book. During/After the class, I expect this book to be more helpful.
