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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, clear written and easy to read!

Shalom everyone. 4th year med student.
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 made of, there almost no long complex phrases. Brick after brick.
The book is very easy to understand, yet very comprehensive. I read a third of the book in less than a week, and I found I remembered most of it, without even repeating it too much.
At the end of every chapter there are open questions with full answers at the end of the book.
One of the important qualities this book have is that it made me curious about immunology! I have already a B.A. degree from the Hebrew university and I have already studied immunology, but now, for the first time I find it interesting and complex, yet Peter Parham explains it in a very clear way.
I wish I had more books written by this author... I know I should write something negative about the book, for the balance or integrity, but tell you the truth, I find none. It's not cheap, but worth every euro.
Yehuda Malul, Italy.

I wouldn't pass my final year without this book. Newer editions are more complete, but this one is okay for an exam preparation

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent, but by far the best available
Reviewed in the United States on 3 August 2009

This book will not rival the simplicity of Klein's reviews of organic chemistry, or the detail of Grey's Anatomy. However it is by far the best immunology book availabe currently, and at a very affordable price as science text books go. The author borrows diagrams and charts from more complete (and much more detailed) Immuno text books, and condenses chapter information very well without missing out on important details. The only downsides are that it is slightly outdated (Tregs, and T-cell production mostly) and I found it had too few real life examples, when such examples applied. In short, if you need an extra text to bolster your immuno knowledge and don't want to read too many useless details this one should do the job, and it's cheap too!
