'These two leading British immunologists have collaborated in producing a book which in
the present period of rapid expansion of immunology will be widely welcomed at least as
much by postgraduate as by undergraduate students of medicine. It is difficult to see ^
how this book can fail to achieve both success and private popularity with students.' British f
Medical Bulletin.
'This is, indeed, immunology for students of medicine, ranging from the laboratory specialist n"
to the medical student, and will make the subject interesting and comprehensible for all who care to read. There are suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, a useful glossary of terms and a good index: altogether a most commendable book.' The |

Immunity to Protozoa A Symposium of the British Society for Immunology, edited by P.C.C. Garnham m.d. d.sc. d.p.h., A.E. Pierce ph.d. f.r.c.v.s. d.v.s.m. and w

Much has been written about protozoal immunity, but the information is scattered in ;
journals and textbooks, and there is no modern monograph devoted to the subject. This .it
book has been expressly designed to fill the need for a general account. The first part (with S contributions by E. Sergent, W. H. Taliaferro, B. G. Maegraith and A. Corradetti) deals with general principles, while the second (containing information from many active workers
in the field, including Muriel Robertson, Saul Adler, B. Weitz and C. Horton-Smith) is ?j
concerned with specific examples illustrating these principles and taken from the major |
groups of the parasitic protozoa. K
Auto-Immunity and Disease by L.E. Glynn m.d. m.r.c.p. and E.J. Holborow m.a. m.d. Summer 1964. 320 pages, 60 illustrations. About 50s
In this book the authors deal with the conditions under which auto-immune phenomena may arise, and consider them in relation to current concepts of mechanisms involved in immune responses and the induction of tolerance to self and foreign antigens.

Immunological techniques are now being applied to a large number of biological problems, and are of importance to workers in many related fields—pathology, microbiology, bacteriology, biochemistry, haematology, and biology in general. For all these this journal is essential reading.
BLACKWELL SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS • OXFORD
Immunological methods are being applied to an ever-increasing number of problems in medicine, but information about the techniques employed is often difficult to find as it is widely scattered in scientific journals.
This volume is based on the proceedings of an international sj^posium at which such techniques were discussed. It is, however, more than just another report of another symposium; it provides a unique collection of information about immunological techniques which have been used in the investigation of problems in medicine. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information is accurate and up to date. It is hoped that the book will prove of value not only to practising immuno-logists, but also to laboratory workers in other fields, and perhaps especially to those clinical pathologists who have had no special training in immunology and who wish to use one or more of the recently developed techniques in this rapidly advancing subject.
