I have six of the seven editions of the Kuby Immunology. It remains the best text book for budding immunologists for both undergrad and graduate level. It is especially useful for those of us working immunologists that find it difficult to keep pace with how rapidly our science is expanding in our level of understanding immunity. With advancements in molecular biology, we are constantly needing to review how we understand the immune system. Kuby is no longer just for undergrads. It also caters nicely for graduates and post-grads as well as it brings in the latest knowledge of immunology in a concise accessible manner for those of us applied immunologists.
This is still a great textbook.I used a much earlier edition of this text as an undergrad and it really helped me understand the basic science behind the complexities of the immune system. The 7th edition substantially changes the approach but it is still written by people that teach undergrad immunology and understand the concerns of students just beginning to learn this complex subject matter.This edition adds much to the older version that I learned used doing especially well with the introduction of the microbiome and new regulatory cell types and tolerance.
Great, paperback reference. Both Kuby and Janeway are amazing resources to have on your shelf for immunology. I had a teacher use Janeway, and still reference the Kuby constantly. I ended up buying this book with only 6 weeks left in the semester, because it needed to be on my shelf.
While less impressive as an introductory text than the fifth edition, Kuby Immunology is still an excellent textbook on the subject, and the seventh edition adds some essential updates (particularly regarding Th17, etc.).It would behoove the authors to attempt, as closely as possible, to replicate both the flow and layout of earlier editions, which were more logical, easier to follow, and tended to group concepts together better.Were this to occur properly, Kuby would once again be the definitive introductory text on the subject. As it stands, it is one of many.It is also usuriously expensive for a softcover textbook. Pricing a softcover text of this length >$100 is inexcusable gouging on the part of the publisher.
I ordered the eBook. It is a good replica of the book. It is a little hard to navigate, however. As for the original book, I really like it! It goes into the right amount of depth of a fascinating subject. The diagrams are consistent and very helpful for studying. I especially liked the signaling diagrams. They aren't too cluttered and the book doesn't have too much to memorize (at least if you consider the fact that it is a textbook for one of the hardest classes).
This textbook goes into very intense detail, but the detail is well explained and helps with the class. We don't use the book very often, but I would say that the book helps me if the professor doesn't get back to me quickly.
Although a highly detailed book and the information is challenging for the memory, this book is written in a very comprehensible way and has all that a resident/specialist needs to know about immunology. Too much complicated for medical students or USMLE exams!
The book reads well. The pictures and cartoons really help with visualizing how things are structured. The practice questions at the end of each chapter were helpful when I was studying for my exams. The shipping was fast and the packaging was good.
