Reviews
"...it comes as a gratifying surprise to find that just two people have been able to compile a comprehensive treatise, The Immune
Response, on the topic...sets a high standard of excellence in the immunologic literature."
- Robert S. Schwartz, M.D. for THE
NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE
"This is a valuable book for any veteran immunologist or student of immunology, with its ability to
make difficult concepts easy to understand through clear explanations and illustrations its major attraction."
- Sam Mehr, MBBS, BMedSci,
The Children's Hospital at Westmead for Doody's: 3 Star Review
"A major strength of this text is that two authors wrote it with the
assistance of two contributors, so that the information is integrated across the chapters and the style is consistent throughout rather
than each chapter being written by a different author or set of authors with the editors then trying to integrate the information afterward.
...an excellent new textbook that combines excellent chapters on basic immunology with very good introductory chapters on clinical disorders
related to immunology. This book will be particularly useful to serious students entering the field or to those in the field who want
a well-written update across the breadth of immunology"
- Andrew Saxon for CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY (Jan 2006)
"...transitions smoothly from
chapter to chapter, without the jarring inconsistency of writing styles that sometimes plagues multiauthor texts. The original two-color
illustrations, fullcolor plates, and ample sidebars and summary boxes make for a pleasing, learner-centered book. The Immune
Response is a well-written, well-organized, learner-centered text that is suitable for undergraduates, medical and graduate
students, and more advanced learners of immunology."
- James T. Li for JAMA (March 2006)
"...very erudite and quite complete and accurate
in its coverage..."
-Peter Ward, University of Michigan Health Systems, Department of Pathology, USA (2004)
"...very timely, reads very well, and should be of great interest to those wanting to get a start in understanding Immunology..."
- Juan-Carlos Zuniga-Pflucker, Sunnybrook & Women's College Heath Sciences Centre, USA (2004)
"The illustrations
are terrific...One of the things I especially like is the use of the "Introducing..." and "More about..." sections. These give students
a taste of what is to come without overwhelming them with details."
- Douglas Green, La Jolla Institute of Allergy
and Immunology, USA (2004)
"...straight forward style...crystal clear definitions of complex immunological concepts...Uncomplicated
style effortless for the reader to move from one section to the next, comfortable, unforced learning experience..."
-Gillian
Wu, Faculty of Pure and Applied Science, York University, Canada
"A very readable and enjoyable text.... Historical
background is a nice idea that is essentially overlooked in many competing texts.....contemporary and would be easy to recommend..."
-Richard M. Locksley, Department of Medicine, University of California in San Francisco, HHMI, San Francisco, CA,
USA
"I particularly like the clear and conversational style of the prose...chapters are a delight to read...I {also} like the
format of presentation with boxes for the specialists and plenty of illustration... This will be an important contribution to the field
of Immunology."
-Noel R. Rose, Director, Center for Autoimmune Disease Research, the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
MD, USA
"This book is an important contribution, providing the reader with a clear, complete, and concise overview of the immune
system in both health and disease...This is a valuable book for any veteran immunologies or student of immunology, with its ability to
make difficult concepts easy to understand through clear explanations and illustrations its major attraction."
