In this book the author has tried to take a middle course and to evolve a text which is neither too elementary nor too advanced. The style and arrangement as well as the content have been chosen with the deliberate purpose of making the complex and necessarily somewhat technical subject matter of microbiology and immunology as readily understandable as possible. An attempt has been made to avoid anticipating a knowledge on the part of the student which he may not rightfully be expected to have and throughout the book the endeavor is to move always from the known to the unknown. Stress has been laid on the practical application of microbiological knowledge to the prevention of disease. The microbiology of individual diseases is taken up from the point of view of the region of the body principally affected the normal flora of that region is discussed and the important pathological conditions of the part are introduced then the micro organisms responsible for these conditions or likely to be present are described. This arrangement seems to the author more logical than the conventional division of diseases into those caused by cocci by bacilli etc. and has found great favour with students. 304 pp.…
