Immunology for Medical Students

Rating:
Summary: Good reference book
Review: I bought this book for first year dental. It does a good job explaining basic concepts. There are nice, detailed pictures throughout and is very "readable". This is a small book (about 1.5" thick) and gives a good foundation for understanding immunology. I can't, however, agree with the "for Medical Students" portion of the title. If you're looking for something more detailed, check out Robbins.

Summary: An excellent immunology book for medical students
Review: The book is concise and easy to follow. It contains a lot of background information, in format of inserted boxes, on diseases related to the immune system. The information about immunology is NOT thorough with details. Neither is the presentation of (immuno)pathology. But should be adequate for medical students.
