内容説明
The at a Glance series is popular among medical students and junior doctors for its concise and simple approach and excellent illustrations. Each bite-sized chapter is covered in a double-page spread with colour summary diagrams on the left page and explanatory text on the right. Covering a wide range of topics, books in the at a Glance series are ideal as introductory subject texts or for revision purposes, and are useful throughout medical school and beyond. Everything you need to know about Immunology...at a Glance! Following the familiar, easy-to-use at a Glance format, and now in full-colour, Immunology at a Glance, the first in the series, is an accessible introduction and revision text for medical students. Fully revised and updated to reflect changes to the content and assessment methods used by medical schools, this at a Glance provides a user-friendly overview of immunology to encapsulate all that the student needs to know.
This new edition of Immunology at a Glance: * Contains full-colour artwork throughout, making the subject even easier to understand * Presents schematic diagrams on the left page and concise explanations on the right * Shows the essential relationships between cells, molecules, and processes of immunity, with a complete checklist of definitions and details * Includes new self-assessment tutorials suitable for medical and biomedical science courses * Includes new chapters on 'Innate Immune Recognition', 'Investigating Immunity', and 'Immunity and the Genome' This book is a concise and accessible introduction and revision aid for all students of bioscience and medicine/paramedicine, and the busy clinician or specialist, who want a quick, yet thorough, grasp of immunology.
