Praise from the previous edition: "This is the book that every student (regardless of level) should read as he or she begins to study immunology." -- Daniel G. Tenen, MD Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School Member, Harvard Medical School Program in Immunology On the first edition: "...it covers each section of the immune system in the form of 'lectures' in which the author talks to you from the book as though he were in the same room. A MUST-BUY for anyone having problems understanding the immune system (and, lets face it, who doesn't)?" Barts and the London Chronicle "...this brief overview of immunology is superb." Guy's Gazette, Guy's Hospital, Medical & Dental Schools "I feel that Dr Sompayrac has contributed a worthy book which I personally have enjoyed reading, and I feel it will serve as an ideal introduction to the principles of immunology for students of either a medical or scientific background." Southampton Health Journal "...makes a difficult subject like immunology much easier to understand. A fantastic introduction to basic immunology." 2nd Opinion, The Magazine of the Scottish Medical Schools, raise from the previous edition:This is the book that every student (regardless of level) should read as he or she begins to study immunology."- Daniel G.

    Excellent seller. Package was delayed ( by bad weather) and then misplaced at PO( placed in wrong box #) but I contacted the seller and they responded quickly and I got my item today. This seller went the extra mile and I would highly recommend them and will shop here again. I also want to say the price for this complete hard to find item was way below most of the other listings. Condition was good as stated, and although I've only watched the first disc it's quality is good. Thank you!!

    Purchasing form this company can at times be frustrating due to items never arriving, very low shipping time and the inability to track the items. But I gave them another chance and purchased many maps and books over the past few months and have received all of them. Last year, it was hit and miss. All items were in the condition as described. Packaging is minimal. The only downside is extremely slow shipping. I rate them a C+. Nothing to gloat about but eventually you will get what you wanted.
