Book Description
The Atlas of Immunology is a unique pictorial reference, containing more than 1,000 illustrations depicting essentially every concept of importance in understanding immunology. The Atlas demystifies immunology for students, basic scientists, and clinicians. Diagrams are included for all levels of understanding, including basic ideas and a detailed treatments. Presents new topics in immunology, molecular structures, and mechanics of molecular and cellular interactionsIllustrations in the Atlas range from photographs of historical figures to molecular structures of recently characterized cytokines, major histocompatibility complex molecules, immunoglobulins, and molecules of related interest to immunologists. A host of original illustrations present subjects, such as cellular adhesions molecules, in a manner that facilitates understanding of their role in intercellular and immune reactions. Figures pertinent to immunological subspecialties such as transplantation, autoimmunity, immunophysiology, immunopathology, antigen presentation, the T-cell receptor, and many more are found in the Atlas of Immunology. No other book offers the breadth or detail of illustrated immunological concepts.

Not worth it... go and look for Janeway'sI agree that the best part of this book is the cover. It is not only very expensive, but also the quality is very poor. It has some useful information, but not enough. If you want a GREAT Immunology Book, go and buy Charles Janeway's "Immunobiology: The Immune System in Health and Disease". Don't be tricked like me and end with this book on your shelve, and it is just occupying space. Trust me, not worth it!The cover is the best partThis book is dissapointing. While this book does contain a wealth of information on immunology, this is more like a dictionnary than an atlas. The "1000 illustrations" well reproduced black and white illustrations, but they are not very well done or helpfull. There are a few black and white photographs, but absolutely no color in the whole book (other than the cover, which probably is the best part of this book). I do not recommend this book. I recommend the Atlas of Allergic Diseases, by Lieberman and Blaiss. Excellent diagrams and pictures (all color!). Atlas of immunologyEu gostei muito do livro adquirido, o conte??do de grande clareza e manuseio, s?? n??o o coloco como 4 estrelas por ser preto e branco n??o adequado para um livro que leva o nome de ATLAS e tamb?İm pela qualidade do papel usado na impress??o o qual poderia ser de melhor qualidade. |
