Written for undergraduate, medical, veterinary, dental, and pharmacy students, it makes generous use of medical examples to illustrate points. This classroom-proven textbook offers clear writing, full-color illustrations, and section and chapter summaries that make the book accessible and easily understandable to students. The Fourth Edition is a major revision that brings the content up-to-date and improves clarity. Based on user feedback, there is now increased continuity and connectivity between chapters. The Immune System is additionally supported by the Garland Science Learning System. This homework platform is designed to evaluate and improve student performance and allows instructors to select assignments on specific topics and review the performance of the entire class, as well as individual students, via the instructor dashboard. Students receive immediate feedback on their mastery of the topics, and will be better prepared for lectures and classroom discussions. The user-friendly system provides a convenient way to engage students while assessing progress. Performance data can be used to tailor classroom discussion, activities, and lectures to address students’ needs precisely and efficiently. For more information and sample material, visit http://garlandscience.rocketmix.com/. A free trial for the Garland Science Learning System will be available to use during the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 semesters. Please contact us directly at science@garland.com to sign up! Review: Superb book! Love it! Highly recommended - (This is my second review of this book now that I have begun my third cover to cover reading. The level of detail on the molecular level is astounding and beautifully and lucidly explained. An example is cancer cells and CTLA4. The graphics are also superb. I now recommend this book even more highly! My Rioth Immunology isn't nearly as enjoyable to study.) The immune system is a favorite topic of mine. Almost everything which happens to our bodies involves the immune system. So I was very interested in a book which is on a very professional level with current information and excellent writing style. Also I feel that educational graphics are especially important to drive home the information. This book passed all my criteria with flying colors. I really enjoyed studying it and have now read it twice (there's way too much information there to absorb on just one reading!). Almost every process in the human body involves the immune system and learning to minimize inflammation is a huge leg up on feeling good! Everything from sore muscles and joints, strep throat, healing, migraine, every disease known to man, sunburn, and on and on involve inflammation. Learning the mechanisms of inflammation and immunity and how to quiet inflammation and bolster immunity REALLY adds to ones health. I highly recommend this superb book as a way to learn how to baby ones body! Review: Parham does not disappoint - This is a very good textbook. The publisher, Garland sciences, is one that I trust because they have always done a very good job with their science textbooks (check out Molecular Biology of the Cell, The Biology of Cancer, and others). Continuing along this trend, Peter Parham's book does not disappoint. The figures are cartoonish in most instances of course, much like the ones in MBOC and other Garland books, but they have to be that way and it does help very much with understanding; this is mixed appropriately with real histological cross sections and figures from the clinical setting to give a more realistic idea of what things look like. To a scientist who does/participates in research with a partial or minor immunological context, or needs to learn selected topics in immunology for future research, this text is the perfect companion. For a seasoned immunologist who does pure research in the field, a better choice would probably be the more detailed and in-depth Immunobiology by Janeway, from which Parham's text is adapted if I'm not mistaken. ## Features - Medicine, Health and Science, Immune System ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,138,351 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #236 in Immunology (Books) #514 in Biochemistry (Books) #797 in Biology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 419 Reviews | ## Images ![The Immune System, 4th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ZVJ2VTA4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb book!

The illustrations are fundamental and provide such a detailed description that makes it easy to understand. My only criticism, if i had to give one, is that the book seems to be organized awkwardly. It will start off with a detailed summary of the chapter, but then breakdown each idea. It also does not give good "refresher" information. It had been awhile since my A&P course, so my knowledge of the immune system was lacking. The text seems to just jump right into the topic without a chapter that reminds you about things like the difference between CD4 and CD8 T Cells, what's the difference between a basophil and mast cell, etc. Other than that, this was my favorite text throughout my academic career. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/8094095-the-immune-system-4th-edition](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/8094095-the-immune-system-4th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
