Lymphatic System

A popular treatment of one of the most obscure "systems," this volume describes the chemicals and cells, the nodes and circulation in the lymphatic system together with immune response connections, history of our knowledge, diseases and treatments. This is one of the ten-volume set Human Body Systems under the editorship of Michael Windelspecht, aimed at secondary school and public libraries and the undergraduate collections of comprehensive college libraries. The volumes deal with history, anatomy, physiology, medicine in a largely jargon free text organized topically and followed by acronyms, glossary, organizations & web sites; a decent bibliography; and a modest index. Pricing is reduced for set buyers. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
