'[F]riendly and engaging ... accessible to anyone who's curious about the mechanics of the human body.'
Author: Thuy On Source: The Age'A terrific introduction to the complicated beast that keeps us alive.'
Author: Dr Karl Kruszelnicki'This surprisingly ambitious, eminently accessible book brilliantly summarizes the essential features of the immune system for a lay audience. The quirky humour masks an underlying authority and competence. The work is right up to date, even incorporating recent Nobel Prize winning insights into the evolutionarily ancient innate immune system. It is a triumph of popular medical science.'
Author: Sir Gustav Nossal'An accessible account of a complex and important topic.'
Author: Prof. Peter C. Doherty, Nobel Prize winner‘The book is hilarious in a science-nerd kind of way, and the personal notations and anecdotes from Ben-Barak put a real human touch on information that can sometimes come off as clinical and complex.’
