Publisher's Synopsis
The aids crisis has made us all painfully aware that without the mysterious and intricate working of the immune system, human life is too easily threatened. General curiosity about this field of medical science is at an all-time high: by now everyone knows that t-cells are worker bees of the immune system. Now, internationally acknowledged immunology expert dr. John m. Dwyer explains - with engaging anecdotes and actual cases from his years of research and practice - the science of the human body's sophisti- cated defence to ward off the assailing plethora of viruses, fungi and bacteria- and the threat of cancers, allergies, and arthritis that arise when that system is out of balance. John dwyer is a doctor, a scientist and a storyteller, and he has made the body at war an authoriitative and reader friendly book. NOT UK/OM
