| Immunity: The Immune Response in Infectious and Inflammatory Disease
By Anthony DeFranco, Richard Locksley and Miranda Robertson What reviewers think...
...about Chapter 3 “This is really fantastic – one of the best overviews of the
roles of complement I have come across. It is very hard to find a good
overview that doesn’t get bogged down in all the details – and this
succeeds beautifully! For the first time, I felt like the
different complement pathways made sense and fit
together.“ “In my opinion it reads well, walking that line between
being approachable and informative to the wider scientific readership,
but still incorporating recent findings of relevance. In summary, it was a very
enjoyable read and I learnt a lot from it.“ “...the authors have managed to explain a potentially
difficult topic in simple terms that students/scientists should find
interesting and informative.“ ...about Chapter 5 “I was very, very impressed with what I saw. The authors seemed
to have achieved the difficult blend of simplicity and detail needed in a text
book. The figures are outstanding.“
...about Chapter 8 “I like the text very much. The text covers areas not adequately
covered in similar texts - overall an excellent job.“ ...about Chapter 9 “The information presented is current and the
pictures shown are excellent. The information should be of great
interest since it has in the past been difficult to bridge bacterial
pathogenesis and immunology.“ ...about Chapter 10 “It is lively and extremely up to date; it covers and immense
amount of ground in a relatively short chapter.“ ... about Chapter 11 “ I think the presentation and overall tenor are great; I can see many
people being very keen to obtain a reference work set out like this, it is
very well conceived.“ |
