Reviews
From the reviews:
“Provide a critical overview of the mathematical modeling performed so far to understand HIV immunity and escape, and advance an innovative alternative approach for stochastic simulation. … War in the Body is not a how-to guide, tutorial, or cook-book, but a research monograph, with thought exercises to cultivate problem-solving skills and foster developing plausible, stable numerical simulations.” (Complexity, March, 2014)
