The illustrations are fundamental and provide such a detailed description that makes it easy to understand. My only criticism, if i had to give one, is that the book seems to be organized awkwardly. It will start off with a detailed summary of the chapter, but then breakdown each idea. It also does not give good "refresher" information. It had been awhile since my A&P course, so my knowledge of the immune system was lacking. The text seems to just jump right into the topic without a chapter that reminds you about things like the difference between CD4 and CD8 T Cells, what's the difference between a basophil and mast cell, etc. Other than that, this was my favorite text throughout my academic career. Review: Superb book! Love it! Highly recommended - (This is my second review of this book now that I have begun my third cover to cover reading. The level of detail on the molecular level is astounding and beautifully and lucidly explained. An example is cancer cells and CTLA4. The graphics are also superb. I now recommend this book even more highly! My Rioth Immunology isn't nearly as enjoyable to study.) The immune system is a favorite topic of mine. Almost everything which happens to our bodies involves the immune system. So I was very interested in a book which is on a very professional level with current information and excellent writing style. Also I feel that educational graphics are especially important to drive home the information. This book passed all my criteria with flying colors. I really enjoyed studying it and have now read it twice (there's way too much information there to absorb on just one reading!). Almost every process in the human body involves the immune system and learning to minimize inflammation is a huge leg up on feeling good! Everything from sore muscles and joints, strep throat, healing, migraine, every disease known to man, sunburn, and on and on involve inflammation. Learning the mechanisms of inflammation and immunity and how to quiet inflammation and bolster immunity REALLY adds to ones health. I highly recommend this superb book as a way to learn how to baby ones body! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #591,468 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #110 in Immunology (Books) #200 in Biochemistry (Books) #256 in Biology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (419) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.9 x 10.9 inches | | Edition | 4th | | ISBN-10 | 081534466X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0815344667 | | Item Weight | 2.7 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 532 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 2014 | | Publisher | Garland Science | ## Images ![The Immune System, 4th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ZVJ2VTA4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent textbook, but not for somebody without prior knowledge of immunology. *by T***Y on May 15, 2017* Of all the textbooks I've purchased throughout my academic career, this is by-far the best.

Finally got Complement. *by D***4 on January 8, 2018* Used book recently to update 46 year old medical education, so as to understand recent happenings in the medical journals, which may as well have been written in a foreign language. I worked my way through half the textbook, one page at a time, with resultant new clarity of understanding of most of the basic immunologic vocabulary and concepts, then got hung up and discouraged over way-too-much info about mucus to begin the 'gut immunology' section, an area in which I don't anyway have much interest. By that time, it is midway through 2018 for a book written in 2014 (albeit with a 2015 copyright). Book needs updating or a new edition badly; new information on CART RX; CRISPR DNA editing; the concept of dominant tolerance; biologic treatments based on IL-2 blockade, these latter therapies permeating the television ads sprayed upon us by Big Pharma; etc., etc., etc. I will read the new edition of Parham Immunology when and if it comes out, otherwise, Abbas and Co. , here I come, since Janeway way too complex and detailed, in my opinion, for a general introduction or beginner's Immunology textbook. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/8094095-the-immune-system-4th-edition](https://www.desertcart.at/products/8094095-the-immune-system-4th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
