A general practitioner-teacher and a university professor have chosen to revitalize the theoretical teaching of immunology by grounding it in clinical experience. While modern immunology, like endocrinology and neuroscience, is largely a discipline of intercellular communication, this manual owes much of its quality to the ongoing interaction between the two authors, who worked to select the essential elements and firmly ground them in everyday practice. Another characteristic of this work is its combination of rigor and simplicity. Too many books, and especially too many articles, discourage physicians with their abundance of information and poor integration. This is not the case here, as the didactic presentation is based on the indisputable achievements of modern immunology, selected for their explanatory value and harmoniously assembled whenever the current state of knowledge allows. The Department of General Medicine at the Paris-Sud Faculty of Medicine was established around Antoine Bédère Hospital more than twenty years ago, at the same time as INSERM Unit 131 and just a few years after the creation of the hospital's Internal Medicine department. This network and the bonds of friendship among its members remain strong and fruitful. This book is further evidence of that.

Exmoor National Park, England.
A teenage girl, left alone in her father's car while he went hunting in the moors, is kidnapped. A note placed on the steering wheel sounds like an accusation: "You don't love her."
Soon, around the small town of Shipcott, the scenario was repeating itself relentlessly. Children, left unattended for a few minutes in a vehicle, were kidnapped. The only clue: the same message from the culprit. No claim of responsibility, no ransom demand, no hope.

The author invites us to pay close attention to the behavior of people with Alzheimer's disease and to the behaviors we adopt with them. The entire question of behavioral expression arises in their case, just as it does for everyone else. We are led to delve into the mysteries of unconscious communication. It then becomes necessary to seriously examine the ideological aspects of the role attributed, without formal proof, to brain lesions. Such a guiding principle allows us to advance our understanding of the disease from the patient's perspective. A better understanding of their thought processes, their issues, and their psychological needs allows us to better organize their care and learn how to negotiate with them. The practice of sociotherapy, the principles of which are explained, provides a concrete illustration of this.

Even better, some foods have the ability to nip in the bud the microtumors that we all develop during our lives and that threaten to become cancerous.
