We enjoyed reading this book because it contains much useful information and many interesting insights into liver immunology. The topic is of great interest because of continuing advances in our understanding of chronic viral infection of the liver, autoimmune liver disease, and liver transplantation. The contributors to this book are mainly from North America and Europe, however, so a truly global representation of topics is lacking. Schistosomiasis, for example, should have received greater attention, and the reasons for the rapid progression of coinfection with HIV and hepatitis C to severe liver disease merit greater discussion.
In the foreword, Ian Mackay . . .
