Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"The figures are excellent and self-explanatory; they really complement the text - in fact the figures go a long way in helping to explain difficult concepts." - Dr. Kim O'Neill, Professor of Microbiology, Brigham Young University "I like the general format of the illustrated review and think that it is a very good format for the review of immunology." - R. Blackstock, PhD, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Oklahoma Health Science Center "The format is great!! True outline format usually lacks grammar, making it tough to understand. This uses concise language and gets right down to the point without compromising clarity....LIR fills in the gaps that review books tend to leave out. This would be a great book for a student like me who was overwhelmed with the details in the textbook and needs something more than a skeletal outline for boards review."--Amy Laude, Student, Loyola University Health System "The LIR format in general is a good organizational approach to a complicated topic. The approach breaks down the overview of immunology into palatable subtopics that logically reflect the science of the field."--Laurel B. Murrow, M3, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine" Read more...
