3.0 out of 5 stars Too much colour, not enough logic!, 3 Aug 2003

By	Dr. Rich Boden "rich boden" (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Immunobiology (Paperback)

I was recommended this book and I found it quite a disapointment. The CD-ROM does little to back up the text, although it is quite interesting in its own right. The book has a very vivid colourscheme, and an illustration style which attempts to make immunology seem sexy, which it definately is not. The diagrams put me in mind of the instruction booklets in LEGO, where all the pieces fit together perfectly, which obviously in reality they don't. The diagrams are often over-simplified but at the same time there is too much information to take in and the captions are insufficient. There's some very nice diagrams in there and obviously a lot of money was spent on them, but they are often confusing and either contain far too much detail or far too little and seem pointless. The book isn't arranged in logical chapters: you can't sit down and read about one specific subject because it'll be spread over 4 or 5 different chapters and this makes things hard to follow.
On the other hand, there are excellent journal references everywhere and the sections regarding B and T Cell development are great; this book has the best descriptions of the mechanisms of apoptosis in the immune system of any book I've seen. The autoimmunity section is based entirely around one theory and makes little if no mention of others. The Appendices are a good reference as they list all the cytokines and CD proteins which is excellent.
I would recommend this as a backup to other texts, but I would not rely on it for exams or coursework.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very worth while buy for all aspects of immunology., 6 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Immunobiology: The Immune System in Health and Disease (Hardcover)

I bought this book for my degree in molecular biology and it has been one of the many text books I bought in freshers week that has actually come down off the shelf a few times.I have found it to be both comprehensive and readable at the same time.The bright and bold diagrams are a nesessary aid to conceptsualising the ever more confusing aspects of both the adaptive and innate immune systems .The book eases you in gently but progresses on to the more advanced areas of complement and the genetics of HLA.All in all a very worth while buy for all general aspects of immunology.
