From the reviews: "This comprehensive book succinctly details all areas of pulmonary function … . Anyone already educated in pulmonary physiologic assessment would find this book reinforcing. … The book achieves its likely intended goals well. … I would recommend it highly to anyone in related subspecialty disciplines, and personally would consider it a very practical resource that I would add to my personal library."
