Immunology, Fifth Edition

Rating:
Summary: Great for undergrads
Review: My undergraduate immunology professor chose this text for our class and I found it to be very useful. To this day it is one of my favorite texts. I encourage any undergraduate that has an interest in immunology to obtain this text and study it. You will not be sorry.

Summary: THE KUBY DIMENSION
Review: The "kuby Immunology" textbook is valuable for a number of reasons, but the two most prominent ones are: its broad content, and its simplistic outlook. Of course, the authors of this book had beginners in mind when they planned for it, yet, it has got what it takes to arouse the curiosities of experienced learners. I like the moderate details that most of the chapters parade, and the illustrative figures were colourfully done. Each topic consists of an array of smooth-flowing information, which are buttressed by supportive charts and diagrams. Even the otherwise complex immunochemistry topics were dissected in details, and without pain. This textbook will encourage any immuno-phobic beginner, while at the same time provide lifelines for those in need of revision. The only thing that I will say against it is that its price is much higher than that of other comparable texts, (like the "Roitt's Essential Immunology").

Summary: An excellent introductory immunol. textbook.
Review: The book has been keeping its good features throughout the 4 editions. Not only does it explain the historical perspectives of the science of immunology, but also illustrate different facts and mechanisms in a very clear way. The reader can feel the flow of ideas and the underlying logic of the authors. And its coverage of related areas, such as tumour immunology, is bettter than other similar books i have seen.

Summary: STAY AWAY
Review: This book has got to be one of the most confusing scientific texts I have ever read (in the realm of biology).

If you want to read a good book, try Janeway!

Summary: Very good for introductory immunology course
Review: This fourth edition of Kuby Immunology is written by the new group of authors. Most of the materials in the text are based on what (late) Janis Kuby had done for the first three excellent editions. However, there are some current information added to this edition. I found they are pretty helpful and up-to-date. It is a good book to start when you think you still know very little about immunology.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This Immunology text is quite an outstanding one. I like the way author (Dr. Kuby) illustrates the idea in terms of experiments as well as the result drawn from them. The concept is precise and clear. The organization is logical and easy to follow and lastly the figures shown are spectacular.
