| By: Reginald M. Gorczynski, Jacqueline Stanley ISBN: 1570596255 Publisher: Landes Bioscience Release Date: 01 January, 2000 Bioscience book rank: 233759 | As a medical student at St. George's University, I was required to buy a copy of this textbook. At first, I enjoyed this rather basic introduction to immunology. But after perusing through several other immuno texts, I would suggest that medical students do not purchase this book. I say this for several reasons.<p>First, there are numerous fundamental mistakes which suggest sloppy editing and frustrate the reader a great deal (at least this reader). Furthermore, these mistakes are often contradicted in other locations by the correct text entries, adding to the frustration. I finally had to use the Abbas immuno text as a cross-reference to everything I read in the Gorczynski/Stanley book.<p>The second reason to stay clear of this book is that there are already many top-notch textbooks on the topic which have been professionally written and edited with high-quality figures. I agree with the previous reviewer that the compact nature and wire binding do provide some utility. But they are not worth the overall hassle and the garage-style printing/illustration quality. I would suggest any of the following alternatives: Abbas(ISDN 0721682332), Janeway (0815332173) or Levinson (0838562876).<p>Third, this book is extremely repetitive. The authors defend this approach as a technique to stress the fundamental concepts. I don't know about other students, but I found this approach demeaning and uninspiring. I want a text to show me the wonders of immunology, not treat me like an elementary school kid learning multiplication tables.<p>In summary, if you want a superficial, repetitive notion of immunology that will sit easily on your lab bench, then this "textbook" is for you. If you are required to buy this text, as I was, I would highly recommend purchasing another book in order to supplement your learning. This text, like most first edition books, contains numerous errors, defects in organization, and is in much need of revision. In addition, the index is grossly incomplete, making it difficult to find information. Some of the diagrams are helpful, however, they can, in their entirety, be found in other immunology texts, like the Lange Review Series Immuno/Micro text (0-8385-6287-6). Not the preferred introductory book for medical students, nor a bargain at ( ). The science of Immunology has become enormously complex in its detail. This book thus assists in the training of Clinical Immunologist's navigating them through the detail; the book provides clear explanations and works through problem situations with relevant case studies. The book is comprehensive and will be very useful also as a post graduation reference manual. I strongly recommend the book to all students of the subject. | |
