Why Choose Immunology?

Immunology, Second Edition, provides undergraduate immunology students and aspiring health professionals with an easy-to-follow introduction to the subject. In a course often defined by overwhelming detail, complex terminology, and the intricate nature of the immune response, Juris's Immunology simplifies learning with an approachable narrative, thoughtful pedagogy, and an exceptional visualization program that helps students grasp the "Big Picture" while mastering the exquisite details of immunology.

Key Features

Making Connections Modules


Breaks down powerful images into step-by-step diagrams and connects them with related processes learned earlier. Includes multimedia and assessments to deliver a dynamic and effective way to learn essential immunological concepts.

Fully Customizable


Seamless customization options through the Oxford Insight platform allow educators to tailor content and course structure to match their unique teaching style and syllabus order.


Animations


New animations bring molecular processes to life, combining high-quality visuals with assessments to help visual learners understand challenging topics and stay motivated.

Striking Visuals


To help students see what they are learning about, the illustrations and animations show processes and structures in exquisite detail, giving students insights into cellular and molecular details they would otherwise only try to imagine. We put as much thought into the development of the figures as we did into the text content.

Process Diagrams: Carefully thought-out and precisely rendered Process Diagrams walk readers through each step of key processes

Dynamic detail: Exquisitely drawn illustrations give students insight into cellular and molecular details they can otherwise only imagine

Making Connections


Illustrates how what students are learning about at a specific point in the immune response relates to other steps in the immune response, helping them to make connections across topics.

In-depth explorations of key text figures and concepts that students "unfold" to clarify complex processes. 

Connect the chapter content to what students learned in previous chapters and how it fits into what students are studying now.

Practice questions referring to what students have just learned.

Author-narrated videos where we will watch and listen to the author as he dives into the figure and helps students see the important points in this process.

Animations


Ten animations bring concepts of key immunological processes to life.

Assessment


Graded formative and summative assessment.

What Instructors Are Saying

"I like that there are interactive tools for the students. Usually I avoid these digital platforms because they are not customizable enough. It appears this one has many options."

"The most compelling feature is multiple modalities of teaching and learning and Instructor materials."

"Making Connections is one of the reasons I adopted this book for use."

–Marcia Pierce, Eastern Kentucky University

–Rana Zeine, Kean Institution

–Andrea Moyer, Oakland University

"Making Connections is an absolutely amazing feature. It solves, to some extent, the biggest challenge in teaching immunology to undergraduates, which is to tie together different concepts."

"I am excited about this text. It is very easy to read and has the appropriate level of detail for my students.”

"The more I read, the more excited I am about this book.”

–Shira Rabin, University of Louisville

–Denise Slayback-Barry, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis
