A Pleasant Invitation to Immunology October 31, 2008
Paul Baker (United States)

This book is enjoyable to go through. The figures seem to be well-done in a number of ways. They are simple enough in color and representation (to facilitate understanding and lower publication costs), but complex enough that important details as well as a certain professional look are preserved. The book is divided into three main sections: fundamentals, lab applications, and clinical information. There are helpful tables and lists. The only downside to this book that I see is the paucity of references. There are references to other books and encyclopedias in the back, but I do not see references to landmark journal articles that demonstrated the "facts" and claims of the text.
In short, this book is good for an introductory class in immunology. It is definitely better than the other immunology book I reviewed a short while ago, if one did not account for differences in price. If you are looking for an immunology reference it may be better to purchase an encyclopedia (some are listed at the back of the book). For graduate students of immunology this book may be too light on the references.
