immunology books

	Immunology and Evolution of Infectious Disease
	By: Steven A. Frank ISBN: 0691095957 Publisher: Princeton University Press Release Date: 01 July, 2002 Bioscience book rank: 781916	I really like this book. It presents a wonderfully concise set of well written examples, with key literature cites. Some very interesting problems that illuminate the complexity. <br /> <br />Minor erratum on page 117. States that sum of squares of the two alleles is the incidence of the combined. Correctly, when squaring both sides it is: <br />(p+q)^2 = 1^2 <br /> <br />p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 <br /> <br />2pq = 1- p^2 - q^2 <br />pq = (1 - p^2 - q^2)/2 <br /> <br />So properly speaking, it is one-half of 1 - sum of the 2 squares for the simple case of 2 alleles. i.e. about 27% <br /> <br />But, that is a minor technical error that is common to make. The book is very good and does an excellent job of bridging the gap between introductory material and advanced research questions.

	Basic Immunology
	By: Jacqueline Sharon ISBN: 0683077295 Publisher: Williams & Wilkins Release Date: 15 July, 1998 Bioscience book rank: 1004292	This is a short and easy to understand textbook of immunology. I predict that it will soon become a favorite of medical students. More multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter [as in the well known BRS series] would be welcome. A chapter giving details of the immunologic and serologic tests used in the diagnosis of infectious diseases [esp rickettsiae and viruses] would be nice. Overall it is an excellent review of immunology. Dr. Sharon has written a very concise and integrated book. She takes nothing for granted but explains every fine detail and define immunological terms in a manner that helps you to remember them--association. It would be great if this book could be translated to Spanish. Good texts in basic immunology are lacking in the Spanish community. In summary, it is a great book.

	Immunology for Medical Students: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access
	By: Roderick Nairn, Matthew Helbert ISBN: 0323043313 Publisher: Mosby Release Date: 04 December, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 663156	The book is concise and easy to follow. It contains a lot of background information, in format of inserted boxes, on diseases related to the immune system. The information about immunology is NOT thorough with details. Neither is the presentation of (immuno)pathology. But should be adequate for medical students. I bought this book for first year dental. It does a good job explaining basic concepts. There are nice, detailed pictures throughout and is very "readable". This is a small book (about 1.5" thick) and gives a good foundation for understanding immunology. I can't, however, agree with the "for Medical Students" portion of the title. If you're looking for something more detailed, check out Robbins.
