The second edition of this book has achieved remarkable success, with over 3850 copies sold, making it our bestselling veterinary textbook. Regrettably, the author, Day, passed away in 2020. However, Professor Brian Catchpole and Harm HogenEsch have taken on the task of updating this invaluable resource in his stead. Both are actively engaged in teaching and conducting research in the field of immunology at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), the UK's largest veterinary college, and Purdue University, a renowned veterinary school in the United States.

The addition of these two new authors brings a broader international perspective to the book. Chapters are concise and informative, with a clear focus on delivering the main message. This book stands out from its competitors, which can be expensive and inaccessible, or tailored primarily toward human or mouse immunology. In essence, it offers essential immunological information specifically designed for veterinary students, while maintaining a user-friendly and accessible format.

The use of colour illustrations is highly effective, with clear, simple, and straightforward visuals that effectively convey the key concepts. Nearly one illustration or schematic is provided for each important section or paragraph, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the material.

The clinical cases included in the book bring the theoretical concepts to life, providing real-world examples and applications. Additionally, a short animation is available through the Support Materials tab on the Routledge website, offering a practical and engaging way to reinforce the learning experience.

In summary, this second edition of the book is an exceptional resource for veterinary students seeking to gain a comprehensive understanding of immunology. With its concise and informative chapters, effective colour illustrations, real-world clinical cases, and interactive support materials, it sets itself apart from other textbooks in the field. Whether you are a student or a practicing veterinarian, this book will be an invaluable tool in your journey of learning and growth.
