Fundamental immunology

Sample

Julius M. Cruse, Robert E. Lewis, Huan Wang

Provides an easily accessible text-reference to the more up-to-date and difficult concepts in the complex science of immunology. It aims to demystify basic concepts and specialised molecular and cellular interactions. Its 18 chapters offer a logical and sequential presentation where much of the data is displayed in carefully designed tables. This book is intended for immunology students, researchers, practitioners and basic biomedical scientists.

Thomas Moore

Starting from the premise that we can no longer afford to live in a disenchanted world, Moore shows that a profound, enchanted engagement with life is not a childish thing to be put away with adulthood, but a necessity for one's personal and collective survival. With his lens focused on specific aspects of daily life such as clothing, food, furniture, architecture, ecology, language, and politics, Moore describes the renaissance these can undergo when there is a genuine engagement with beauty, craft, nature, and art in both private and public life.

Bill Green

"You could die looking into such blueness," a scientist once said of Antarctica's Dry Valley lakes. Water, Ice and Stone is Bill Green's remarkable account of the time he spent probing the blueness of these lakes, expertly analyzing their chemistry and humbly listening to their stories of nature's unity. Permanently covered by as much as twelve feet of ice, these are the most isolated lakes in the world - not a single fish darts through their waters, not one tree or plant has ever taken root on their rocky shores. Yet for geologists and geochemists like Green, the lakes contain a rich historical narrative of the earth's development. In the lakes he finds answers that can be expressed in the calibrated and quantified language of research, and he finds questions that can never be answered, only pondered in the memories and musings awakened by the beauty and brutality of a lonely, dangerous land. We experience with him something of this awe and wonder - the inspiration for all scientific inquiry.
