Synopsis

Blackwell now offers the second edition of How the Immune System Works . Written in the same offbeat 'lecture-style' you're familiar with, this new edition provides a perfect introduction to the essential principles of the human immune system, covered in 9 humorous, but highly informative, 'lectures'. It is perfect as an exam-prep review or an enjoyable overview of a difficult subject. New features to this edition include: extensive updates on the pathophysiology of immunology; over 20 new or updated figures outlining key concepts; and, thought questions designed to simulate classroom discussion.

Media Reviews
Praise from the previous edition: This is the book that every student (regardless of level) should read as he or she begins to study immunology. -- Daniel G. Tenen, MDAssociate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School Member, Harvard Medical School Program in Immunology On the first edition: ...it covers each section of the immune system in the form of 'lectures' in which the author talks to you from the book as though he were in the same room.A MUST-BUY for anyone having problems understanding the immune system (and, lets face it, who doesn't)? Barts and the London Chronicle ...this brief overview of immunology is superb. Guy's Gazette, Guy's Hospital, Medical & Dental Schools I feel that Dr Sompayrac has contributed a worthy book which I personally have enjoyed reading, and I feel it will serve as an ideal introduction to the principles of immunology for students of either a medical or scientific background. Southampton Health Journal ...makes a difficult subject like immunology much easier to understand. A fantastic introduction to basic immunology. 2nd Opinion, The Magazine of the Scottish Medical Schools
