Synopsis

Basic Immunology has been designed to fill the need for a shorter textbook of basic immunology for medical students, allied health courses, and undergraduate courses in human immunology. The text will emphasise the basic concepts and principles of human immunology. Experimental material will be minimised. The "Big" Abbas is a comprehensive textbook of Immunology for medical students and graduate programs in human immunology. In response to some evidence that even medical students are finding this book a little more than they need, we decided to prepare a shorter book. The "Baby" Abbas is NOT a condensed or abridged version of the big book, but a whole new book written from the ground up. It is more basic in coverage and has a more didactic approach, leading the reader through an understanding of the basic principles of immunology. The art program is adapted from the 4-color art program in the big book but, again, the art has been simplified and tailored to fit the discussion in the new book.
