Fundamental Immunology (Fundamental Immunology)

Rating:
Summary: HORRIBLE CD UPGRADE
Review:
No offense to William Paul and the Authors of this book, but the CD is unusable unless you allow it access to the internet to review your searches!!!! (In either Windows ME or Windows XP)

A complete invasion of privacy.

Fundamental Immunology IV did not have that problem!

(Microsoft Word is having new problems like this with their Windows XP professional as well! It did not have those problems with ME - Hum?)

Rating:
Summary: It can be used as a dictionary.
Review: It is not recommended as a text book, but is as a dictionary. Because it contains many informations about immunology and few illastlations.

Rating:
Summary: excellent
Review: the next best thing to actually following the literature. a great way to get a background in a less familiar topic.

Summary: Fundamental, not necessarily introductory
Review: This book is in many rspects the Immunology equivalent of the G&G pharmacology bible. Or in other words: if you do Immunology for a living, this book should always be within reach. Just like G&G's book, Fundamental Immunology started out in the same way the "encyclopedia" started in the Age of Enlightment: a compendium of all the knowledge available. With the exponential expansion of both Pharmacology and Immunology, these disciplines no longer fit in one, ten, or even a hundred volumes each, and tough choices have to be made. In Paul's FI, these choices are very much geared towards the professional, and far less so to the student. Yet, many of the subjects are treated in a way that not only incorperates much of the up to date details, but also gives thorough treatment of the fundamental concepts behind them. Thus, this book should also be the text of choice for those students that have sufficient tutoring resources available to guide them through the maze of the wild and wonderful world of Immunology.
