How the Immune System Works, Seventh Edition is a must-have for all medical students, bioscience students, veterinary students, nursing students, researchers looking for a quick refresher, and general readers with interest in the subject. Reviews of the previous edition: “The voice of the author is one of a true teacher whose enthusiasm for the subject is contagious. There are far too many dry ‘academic’, or ‘scientific’ textbooks around and this book felt very fresh in comparison.” —Medical Student, University of Texas, South Western Medical Center at Dallas “This is the book that every student (regardless of level) should read as he or she begins to study immunology.” —Daniel G. Tenen, M.D. Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
