I got a first in immunology because of this book

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 literally have to read the whole book just to understand one bit. Goldsby isn't like that at all. You can just read one chapter to understand one aspect making this book really efficient, great when you're a week away from the exam. I'm a biochemistry student and 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

This book is written very clearly and to the point. It cuts out all the material that you don't need to know and cuts directly to the chase. I liked it because there are lots of colourful and simple diagrams that coincide with the text. You can tell that this book is well researched and is an excellent buy.

Fantastic text: easy to follow and readable!
|
It's not very often that one finds a science textbook, let alone and immunology one, that it is possible to sit down and read, chapter by chapter as one would with fiction. Kuby's Immunology is an obvious exception. The book is divided very logically into chapters which cover (more or less) one topic at a time; allowing 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 and 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
|
|
This is by far the best immunology textbook I've used. The chapters are arranged logically and 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.
