Editorial Review:
The Immune System, Second Edition has been designed for use in immunology courses for undergraduate, medical, dental, and pharmacy students. This class-tested and successful textbook synthesizes the established facts of immunology into a comprehensible, coherent, and up-to-date account of how the immune system works, rather than presenting immunology as a chronology of experiments and discoveries. Emphasizing the human immune system the text has been designed to break down the barriers which often divide basic and clinical immunology. The reader-friendly text, section and chapter summaries, and full-color illustrations make the book accessible and easily understandable to students. The Immune System is adapted from Immunobiology by Janeway, Travers & Walport.
New in the Second Edition:
-Inclusion of end-of-chapter questions throughout the book. Questions consist of a mix of clinical and basic science. Detailed answers to all questions are provided in the back of the book.
-Completely updated throughout.
-Even greater emphasis on human immunity.
-Enhanced and revised treatment of the complement system, including new figures and icons to clarify concepts.
-Increased emphasis on human genetics throughout the book.
-Expanded and updated treatment of innate immunity, particularly the mucosal system.

Rating:  - This book is quick to the point
I hate most of my bio books because they aren't very quick to the point that we need to understand and know; however, this book is not bad at all. It could've been better and it's not as specific as my Prof but it's good enough to use for the couple next years.

I have bought this book since I was about to start a rheumatology and clinical immunology course.
I found that "The Immune System by Peter Parham" is a very clear written book, filled with colorful diagrams and very simple to understand pictures.
Every paragraph starts with a subtitle, a preview and very slowly, it proceeds from the most simple and general descriptions to the deepest. Important are the short phrases it's ... Read More
Rating: - Good Book
This is a good basic immunology book. Easy to understand (even if your background in immunology is minimal). I will definitely hold on to this book for reference.
Rating:  - immunology text
this text is widely used my medical schools, however is is long-winded in its descriptions, which sometimes makes the key ideas appear elusive. i give it 3 stars
Rating: - Excellent book! The diagrams are great!
I'm a second year medical student and I used this book for my first year immunology course. My school has a strong immunology course and the syllabus is almost able to stand on its own without a textbook. The important thing is - our syllabus uses the diagrams from Parham's book! Now that I am studying for boards, I am so happy that I can I look at these diagrams to make sense of complicated immune reactions that I barely remember.
I was really happy I bought this book in addition to ... Read More
