Product description

Review

"Roitt's Essential Immunology is of great interest to a medical student, perfect for a clinician dealing with patients with hypersensitivity reactions or autoimmune conditions and useful even to an experienced immunologist. This book is truly a 21st century publication designed for a modern reader who wishes to gain and further their knowledge of immunology." (World Allergy Organization, 1 November 2011) "However, Roitt's is a fine choice for a basic immunology course. Because of the many changes in what we know about the immune system, a new edition is welcome." (Doody's, 14 October 2011)

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Immunology Textbook.

I have used this textbook since its first edition. The 12th edition is perhaps the best as it includes desktop materials as well as a informative text. As an immunologist and teacher for over 30 years, I find that the format of Roitt's Essential Immunology still to outweigh the others. The illustrations, of which the entire text is filled, as reliable and easy to follow. I recommend this textbook to all who ask me about finding a reliable state-of-the-art textbook on immunology.
