A good deal

Everything about this item is excelllent, including the quality, transportation. Especially the service, quick responsed to my questions and provided satisfified solution. I will shop here next time.

Excellent Resource

This book is an excellent addition to your primary respiratory books or alone. This is the first book that I have found to have wonderful COLOR representations of the heart, lungs, and more. The inside of the book covers have all the most useful equations for quick reference. All of the information is in a clear concise format and each chapter has additional problems and clinical applications. I found this book to be FAR better than the text reccomended for my Respiratory Physiology class and I use it to suppliment my book on a daily basis.
