Extensively updated, with new contributors, brilliant new illustrations and a wealth of supporting material online, this 7th edition offers you a carefully structured approach to learning the building blocks of the immune system, as well as initiation and actions of the immune response. The website which accompanies this text gives access to all the images in the book, up to 20 detailed animation sequences (which link to further supporting text, illustrations, molecular models and video clips), 8 lectures which explain how the immune system responds to different infections or to tissue grafts, and a test bank of over 200+ multiple choice and 100 USMLE-style questions.

In the 15 years since the first edition of "Food Allergy and Intolerance" was published, the subject has become the focus of intense public interest. Not only are more people aware of the phenomena involved, but new evidence and practices are constantly being introduced, and there has been an unprecedented growth of the field. The second edition encompasses the rigor and depth of the first, whilst incorporating all the changes required to produce the definitive guide to the subject for all those involved. The symptoms of a food allergy or intolerance impact not only all allergists, immunologists, nutritionists, gastroenterologists and pathologists, but doctors of respiratory medicine, dermatologists, general practitioners, pharmcologists and all those in environmental medicine.
