I got a first in immunology because of this book - By: Ms. L. A. Davies, 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 literallly have to read the whole book just to understand one bit. Goldsby isn't like that at alll. You can just read one chapter to understand one aspect making this book reallly efficient, great when you're a week away from the exam. I'm a biochemistry student & 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 - By: , 11 Jul 2004
This book is written very clearly & to the point. It cuts out alll the material that you don't need to know & cuts directly to the chase. I liked it because there are lots of colourful & simple diagrams that coincide with the text. You can tell that this book is well researched & is an excellent buy.
Fantastic text: easy to follow and readable! - By: R. Boden, 03 Aug 2003
It's not very often that one finds a science textbook, let alone & immunology one, that it is possible to sit down & read, chapter by chapter as one would with fiction. Kuby's Immunology is an obvious exception. The book is divided very logicallly into chapters which cover (more or less) one topic at a time; alllowing 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 & 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 - By: k.lawson@rfc.ucl.ac.uk, 14 May 2001
This is by far the best immunology textbook I've used. The chapters are arranged logicallly & 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.
