The Respiratory System at a Glance

Pre-publication review: "This volume was eagerly anticipated as a companion piece to the excellent 'Cardiovascular System at a Glance', and it does not disappoint. 'The Respiratory System at a Glance' provides a concise, digestible synopsis of the respiratory system. Essential basic features and clinical aspects of the respiratory system are covered thoroughly but succinctly. Bravo!" --Lecturer in Physiology, Cardiff University Published Reviews of the 1st Edition ..".the book provides a succint yet easy-to-follow approach that examines each disorder in terms of its pathology, clinical presentation as well as its treatment.... these [case studies] can be used for self-testing and they are a useful way of bringing information together.... It is very useful for revising for finals, but is a pleasant enough book to read even before that!" (Cambridge Medicine, Vol. 18, No. 1, Autumn 2003) "The use of 'at a glance' in the title promises clear, easy to understand diagrams and, more importantly, hints at a slightly shorter reading time. The promise is delivered...Suddenly it's all so simple! You really feel like you have learnt a topic once you've read the two pages devoted to it.... I thoroughly recommend this book. The case studies are done brilliantly at the back of the book, even containing a comprehensable reproduction of a chest x-ray." --Third Year Medical Student, Guy's, King's, St Thomas' Medical School GKT July-August 2003 Pre-publication review: "This volume was eagerly anticipated as a companion piece to the excellent 'Cardiovascular System at a Glance', and it does not disappoint.
