Immune System

This introduction to immunology explains the workings of the immune system with humans at the centre throughout. Its fifth edition covers the field in its current form, using clear prose and many real clinical cases to show why each process matters for health and disease.

Illustrations and micrographs appear alongside the explanations, helping readers picture cells and molecules in action. The text stays brief without skipping the core ideas, so it works as a starting point for those new to the subject.

The book comes with InQuizitive, an adaptive learning tool from W. W. Norton that adjusts practice questions to each student and encourages critical thinking. Norton describes the tool as award-winning. Instructors also have access to online assessments and teaching resources.
