Janeway's Immunobiology by Murphy, Kenneth. [2011, 8th Edition.] Paperback Kenneth.. Murphy Books Reviews

At first I ordered the abridged version of this book but realized half way through the class that it didn't answer some of the deeper questions I had about immunology. Thus I ordered this book and found that it was very helpful in filling in those blanks. I liked all the case studies especially because it helped make the topic more clinically relevant.
I'm not much of a fan of reading an immuno book, but I really enjoyed this one. I will say that this is not an intro level read, but it does break down complicated concepts. The diagrams and animations that accompany this book were easy to follow and really helped solidify some concepts. I think that it's good enough that I kept it . Plus, I got an A- out of the class, so it's a winner in my opinion!
The definitive work. Great for initial textbook, but also useful for those of us with a background in immunology, but need to expand our knowledge in areas outside or focus of specialization, or better understand another area of focus, especially by then getting the articles from the excellent endnotes.
Phew! This book is not for the faint-of-heart. I used this as a textbook for an introductory immunology course, and reading each chapter was quite a difficult, but educational, endeavor. I get the feeling that it was designed to be used more as a reference for physicians and immunologists, and it would be good for that purpose since each chapter can stand alone fairly well (in other words, good for the reader who has already taken a good course in immunology). There is tremendous attention to detail with this book. It is very dense, and although there is repetition from chapter-to-chapter (necessary to bring the full picture together), not a sentence is wasted. The figures are consistent and for the most part, well-done.

Immunology is just not an easy subject to present, so I can't fault this book for its presentation of the material. It did just as fine a job of that as I think any book could. I did use a simpler supplemental book to help me understand the subject, which was excellent!! That book is How the Immune System Works, Includes Desktop Edition (Wiley Desktop Editions). If someone is looking to get a more cursory education of the immune system, I would certainly recommend THAT book, and certainly not THIS book.

For what it is though, this is certainly a winner of a textbook.
Hi,

I bought this book for a college Immunology class. It covers a lot of ground and I think it got the job done. I don't have any other immunology textbooks books to compare to. If you are looking to buy this book for school then you probably have no choice. I wish you all the best.

Cons
The cover and binding are very flimsy and the pages came off within two semesters of use. I had to have the entire binding re-glued.

Pros
Covers a lot of immunology material as well lab techniques.
I was able to resell it after I was done.
As strange of a thing as it is to say, I absolutely loved this textbook. I bought it for my PhD Immunology class and qualifying exams afterward even though it wasn't a required text. The figures are excellent and easy to understand, and the textbook has as much detail as I wanted and more. The intro chapter alone is thorough and puts many of the topics in perspective with relation to each other. The book heavily focuses on adaptive and innate systems, and though it is wordy, it didn't feel difficult to read.

I bought it used from , and although the cover was a little bent (since it was paperback), all in all it was in excellent shape.
This is well written, easy to read and easy to follow. Each chapter starts with a summary of the material to be covered. The subchapters do the same and finish with a summary. Finally a chapter summary ties it all together. There are numerous easy to understand illustrations. As a physician who completed medical school in 84 I found the book to be very informative and loaded with new concepts. My son is using this book instead of the one recommended for his Immunology course at U of Central FL.
The original volumes of Janeway were deservedly considered classics. They disrupted the paradigm of texty, word-heavy tomes in favor of refreshingly simple, comprehensive, coherent diagrams. This latest volume does include many of the diagrams I remember but they're no longer central to the text.

I actually read my first copy of Janeway cover to cover in about a week - that's how great it was. I will use this latest version as a reference, but the greatness has been lost under the sheer weight of dry text. This feels like a book that was written by committee with an eye on incorporating information rather than teaching this fascinating subject to eager students.

It's probably still better than most of the other immunology texts out there, but it's no longer an autobuy for me.
