Review:

"A book that is now in its 8th edition is obviously one that has been found to be useful by students and instructors. This is one of the more popular choices among immunology books. For some students, it might provide more information than they need, but that depends entirely on the level of the course. In any event, it would surely be an excellent resource. Given the rapid changes in what we know about immunology, the need for this new edition should be obvious."
