Index
"This is a well-written and well-organized book on pulmonary pathophysiology and should be a very useful resource for medical students and postgraduate trainees. Although aimed primarily at medical students taking a respiratory pathophysiology course, the book also should prove useful for residents and fellows training in pulmonary medicine, as well as for practicing physicians wishing a review."
