This book has 264 pages. Published by Oxford University Press.

A compelling explanation of modern immunology and microbiology which reveals the truth about Living with Germs.

Bio reads:

Despite their bad reputation, the vast majority of germs do not infect us at all: it is pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, worms, and prions that make us ill. In Living With Germs, renowned expert John Playfair vividly describes these pathogens and the defence mechanisms by which we come to terms with them, whether by eliminating them, preventing them from eliminating us, or by simply learning to live with them. Including descriptions of how vaccines and antibiotics work, the various germs that are good for you, public health measures, and a look at what might be in store for us in the future,the result is a lively, highly readable, and up-to-date examination of modern immunology and microbiology.

Rich with anecdotal and autobiographical material, this fascinating, occasionally gruesome, and utterly compelling book will appeal to all those who want to know the truth behind the 'germ' scare stories in the media today.

John Playfair was the Chairman of the Immunology Department at University College Hospital, London, where he coordinated the immunology course, until his recent retirement. He has written widely on the subjects of infection and immunity, and is the author of the highly respected textbook Infection and Immunity, recently published in its second edition (OUP, co-authored with Greg Bancroft).

This book is ex-library, so it has the usual stickers and markings. The inside blank page is stamped as discarded. The book has been protected by a plastic cover. The book is in otherwise very good condition.
