I got a first in immunology because of this book, 17 Apr 2007
This is by far the best immunology textbook. In my experience other immunology authors randomly start talking about something that they don't cover until later on/previously in the book so you literally have to read the whole book just to understand one bit. Goldsby isn't like that at all. You can just read one chapter to understand one aspect making this book really efficient, great when you're a week away from the exam. I'm a biochemistry student and as I've said above I got a first in my second year immunology module because of this book. Buy other books at your peril!

I passed a degree module using this book, 11 Jul 2004
This book is written very clearly and to the point. It cuts out all the material that you don't need to know and cuts directly to the chase. I liked it because there are lots of colourful and simple diagrams that coincide with the text. You can tell that this book is well researched and is an excellent buy.

Fantastic text: easy to follow and readable!, 03 Aug 2003
It's not very often that one finds a science textbook, let alone and immunology one, that it is possible to sit down and read, chapter by chapter as one would with fiction. Kuby's Immunology is an obvious exception. The book is divided very logically into chapters which cover (more or less) one topic at a time; allowing you to read about one subject in one sitting, without having to check back in 7 other parts of the book or going off on a tangent.
The diagrams contain no more information than they need to and support the text very well. You can revise from the book quite easily using the diagrams alone as a guideline. The colourscheme of the book keeps things simple, but does make things look a bit dull at times but then that's immunology for you.
The downside? Not enough journal references!

The best Immunology text, 14 May 2001
This is by far the best immunology textbook I've used. The chapters are arranged logically and build sensibly from basic to more in-depth knowledge. A good reference book for any student studying/working in the field. If you can only afford one immunology text than I'd recommend this one.

invaluable !!!, 31 Jul 2006
This book is great for students studying Biomedical Science. The layout looks abit daunting at first as there is no colour and the pictures are quite plain. However, it gets straight to the point in a clear, concise manner. The information is easily understandable and very in depth for the size of the book. A great text for revision and well worth the money! The other titles in the series are also a good buy. Transfusion Science in particular is good.

A great book for the antibody laboratory, 17 Jan 2003
This book begins by explaining antibodies and the immune system and goes on to dicuss antigens, hybridomas etc. It is full of helpful lab methods and has been particularly useful for new graduates entering the lab. It is a book that may be appropriate for a heavily practical immunology course.

Fascinating insight of how our immune system works., 15 Feb 2001
A very enjoyable and informative book, which clearly explains how our bodies fight diseases. Aimed at the general reader and very well written in a clear understandable style this book describes how our immune system deals with the full range of common diseases including AIDS, cancer. The book covers a lot of ground on the subject of the immune system and contains detailed explanations of how our bodies recognise and fight disease without leaving the reader behind in a fog of technical terms. The book also cleverly links the more detailed issues it discusses with common sense understanding of how having a happy life with a sensible approach to diet and lifestyle benefits our ability to fight disease.

Essential for anyone interested in health, 21 Jan 2001
An essential read for anyone interested in their own health, or the health of others. Cleverly written to ensure that all levels of readers from novices to medical experts will enhance their knowledge and understanding of how the body fights and recovers from disease. It covers the basic functioning of the immune system and leads on to discussing leading edge issues such as the fight against AIDS, cancer and the role of vaccines. I thoroughly enjoyed, and benefited from reading this book.
