A pocket atlas flexibook on this dynamic and wide-ranging field, indispensable for students of medicine and biology alike. Complex processes are well-illustrated in clear images that are not burdened with unnecessary details.
Following an introductory part and a section on laboratory methods in immunology, the bulk of the book concentrates on the manifestations of immunological diseases in the human body, providing comprehensive capsule descriptions of all common immune diseases.
