Matt McAvoy Book Review

I have to be honest, in the case of this book, I’m not entirely convinced there is enough in the subject matter to fill these pages, though the glossary is most welcome, as is the closing author’s note, which explains the context of the book and its place in the series.  What Linda has included, though, is fantastically well articulated, both in real language and scientific terms.  She covers every facet of the work in an elementary yet professional style – in this respect, I’ve little doubt that she achieves exactly what she set out to do.  This particular entry is comprehensive and very educational, explaining the work of an immunologist, the benefits, the path to it, the bodies overseeing it, and some very interesting history of vaccines.  If it is a career you might be interested in, this might well be your essential guide, to be honest – and I’m sure it shares that credential with many in its series.  Where it does perhaps seem absent is in the next (first) steps into the career: the education path, the subjects, the work and training – though it isn’t really that sort of book.  It therefore might be considered a little vague if you have made your decision to follow the path.  If you are at the stage of your youth where it is one of several options you’re just blue-skying, then it might be right up your street, and I recommend it for you.
