Hall traces the story of how doctors have learned to harness the immune system and its \"commotions\" to develop a wide array of cutting-edge therapies. Moving deftly between laboratory and bedside, Halls absorbing narrative navigates the politics of discovery and elucidates the dazzling complexities of the microscope slide, tracking the curiously potent cells and molecules at the heart of the immune response. From the author of \"the best book written about the new age of biology\" (Nobel laureate Philip Sharp), who \"succeeds marvelously in making science accessible to the general reader,\" (New York Times), this fast-paced account of medicine in the making is part of the Sloan Foundation Technology Book series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Holt Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946119491637,"sku":"ByrdShop_0805058419","price":42.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780805058413_a50ac83e-23a2-455e-979e-9a4eaa0631fa.jpg?v=1778629662","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-commotion-in-the-blood-life-death-and-the-immune-system-the-sloan-technology-series-9780805058413","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
