...the author's stated goal [a unique textbook that leads the reader from basic immunological principles to their practical application in the diagnosis and treatment of immune-mediated diseases of the major companion animal species] has been achieved... The transitions between chapters and sections are seamless, and make for a smooth read... The basic immunology sections are extremely well written, succinct, and very clearly scribed with love of the subject... Michael Day has condensed the relevant information into a very palatable read... excellent colour diagrams and photographs... very useful for all residents preparing themselves for certifying exams... refreshingly up to date... the author makes a point of comparing and contrasting these different [geographical] approaches... I was particularly pleased to see a review of monoclonal antibody therapy, gene therapy, and transplantation... One of the greatest strengths of this book is the quality and number of its illustrations... one of the finest veterinary immunology textbooks I have seen, and I recommend it to all veterinarians who would like to understand the basis of these fascinating immunological diseases with which we work. -- Valerie A.
