"The book entitled Microbiome, Immunity, Digestive Health and Nutrition edited by Drs. Debasis Bagchi and Bernard Downs is comprehensive and well designed. It is very impressive, timely and informative, addressing complex and interrelated fields of study. It ties the interconnected and overlapping elements of the microbiome with the immune system and digestive health, and emphasizes the importance of nutrition in supporting and facilitating these key physiological mechanisms. The chapters are well written, and address specific topics related to the overall scope of the book. This book will certainly be very impactful, and will be exceedingly useful to scholars and scientists at all levels of background in these areas." --Sidney J.
