USMLE Step 1, High-Yield Immunology, Arthur G. Johnson, 2005

This book extracts the most important information on immunology and presents it in a concise, uncluttered fashion to prepare students for USMLE. High-Yield™ means exactly that!

Yorumlar:

Yorum 1: I bought this book as a review for USMLE step 1, and I started reading a friend's copy of levinson's review of medical microbiology and immunology. Not only is Levinson's the best resource for microbiology, but its immunology section is fantastic for both learning and review. I tried reading HY immunology afterwards and was only confused by it. It is poorly written and inconsistent, and not at all high yield--I wish I had not bought it. I guess there are some okay parts to HY immunology, but there are much better alternatives.

Yorum 2: PLEASE look over some one else's copy of this book before you decide to buy it. It is INCREDIBLY nonsensical. The writing is extremely vague, and I would have to assume the only way to understand what the authors are getting at is to have already mastered the subject. It will frustrate you to no end trying to understand the pictures and seemingly arbitrary outline format. I realize I'm rambling a bit here, but this is by far the worst book I've read to prepare for the boards. The writing is simultaneously vague, incoherent, with hardly a logical progression of explanations. You'll see, look at a copy...check out chapter 8. You thought you knew this stuff? Haha, guess again. They manage to take all the easier principles, and muck it up beyond recognition. The photos/graphs/diagrams are all borrowed, so they never quite correlate with the text...you're just supposed to extrapolate the main idea somehow. This has been one painful read...I absolutely regret wasting money on this book. Can you tell I'm frustrated? Far and away, the worst read I've had yet.
