Possible causes, attack triggers, therapies, drug treatments

Asthma - An Emerging Epidemic by Dr. Paul J. Hannaway (Assistant Clinical Professor, Tufts University School of Medicine; Fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology: and the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology) is a serious and detailed manual written especially for people who must learn to cope with the respiratory illness: asthma patients, parents of children with asthma, school nurses and coaches, health-care providers and more. Offering alarming evidence of the worldwide rise in asthma, Asthma - An Emerging Epidemic presents possible causes, attack triggers, therapies, drug treatments, side effects, and much more. It is interesting to note that Dr. Hannaway is himself an asthma sufferer and the father of two asthmatic children, all of which enables him to offer a unique and authoritative perspective not usual found in medical reference writings. A solid reference written in language easily accessible to lay readers. Asthma - An Emerging Epidemic is a strongly recommended addition to community library "Health & Medicine" reference collections.
