This is a professional-level intellectual history of the development of immunology from about 1720 to about 1970. Beginning with the work and insights of the early immunologists in the 18th century, Silverstein traces the development of the major ideas which have formed immunology down to the maturation of the discipline in the decade following the Second World War. Emphasis is placed on the philosophic and sociologic climate of the scientific milieu in which immunology has developed, providing a background to the broad culture of the discipline. A professional-level intellectual history of the development of immunology from about 1720 to 1970, with emphasis placed on the social climate of the scientific milieu in which modern immunology evolved Written by an author very well known both as a historian of medical science and for his substantial research contributions to the immunopathology of the eye The only complete history of immunology available

Microbiology comprises the study of various microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and viruses. It is focused on gaining knowledge of all the aspects associated with these microorganisms, like physiology, behavior, biochemistry, evolution and ecology. It also assesses the pathology of the disease caused by them. According to the taxonomy, various branches of microbiology include bacteriology, nematology, protozoology, immunology, parasitology, mycology, and phycology. Microbiology includes a range of subsets from immunology, from genetic engineering to microbial genetics. Immunology studies the manner in which the immune system in humans protects them from microbes causing infectious disease. It is concerned with understanding the relationships between the hosts and pathogens like viruses and bacteria. The integrated approach to immunology and microbiology can be utilized in understanding the effect that microbes have on the health of humans. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of immunology and medical microbiology, which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
