You will find crucial management guidance on all of the conditions that you see in practice - with comprehensive, clinically oriented, descriptions of lung function in health, disease, and altered conditions and environments. Anesthesia and Analgesia declared the last edition to be "an easily digestible compendium of basic physiological principles" and a "'born again' classic".

More coverage of pathophysiology and even more applications of respiratory physiology to clinical practice.
A more consistent organization, a revised page design that aids readability, and an art program featuring new and newly redrawn illustrations.
