Immunology at a Glance is designed to be a concise, readily accessible introduction and revision aid for undergraduate medical and science students. Following the now familiar, easy-to-use format, each topic is presented as a double-page spread with key facts accompanied by clear, informative line diagrams illustrating the essential points.
The seventh edition of this popular immunology textbook has been completely updated to ensure that core knowledge about immunology is summarized in the At a Glance format.
The new edition of Immunology at a Glance:
condenses the subject into 41 double-page spreads, each corresponding roughly to a 50 minute lecture
presents a schematic diagram on the left page and a concise explanation on the right showing the mechanisms involved in immunological processes
has been completely updated with particular emphasis on recent understanding of the genetic basis of immune responses
Immunology at a Glance will continue to appeal to all students of biomedical science and medicine who want a quick, yet thorough, grasp of immunology.
Reviews of previous editions
'Professor Playfair has succeeded in offering a condensed, readable notebook or dictionary of immunology whose greatest worth rests with the simple yet intricate figures which highlight the 34 chapters"
Trends in Biotechnology on the fourth edition
'It is pitched at the right level for 2nd MB students" and will also act as a useful reminder to those students embarking on Part IVPathology.'
