Great Respiratory Physiology Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I am a US medical student, and I picked this book up to go along with my pulmonary block. This book is short and sweet, but don't be fooled: by the time you're done absorbing these lessons on respiratory physiology, you'll be well-armed to study and comprehend respiratory pathology. I found "Respiratory Physiology: The Essentials" to be a clear, well-written book that will likely be useful for Step 1, and will definitely warrant a second reading during the clinical years.

Awesome Guide for the lung
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book was well worth the money! It was concise and helped me understand topics that were very confusing in lecture (ventilation/perfusion relationship). Plus it is a fast easy read. In 4 days I was able to read the book, understand all the important concepts and ace the exam.

This book was short and concise. Extra gibberish was omitted - the remnants were a beautiful combination of text and explanations to often confusing topics. This book is perfect for any one studying respiration. This book is intended for med school students, but it is written in such a fashion that anyone could pick it up and read it. Reviewing? Cramming? Learning? This book will solve all your problems.
Well worth buying

This is an excellent introduction to respiratory physiology suitable for medical students. It is concise and good for last-minute revising but written in a style that is very easy on the reader. The organisation of the chapters is perfect. My only criticism is that the oxygen and CO2 dissociation curves are not very accurately drawn, but the book is otherwise full of useful diagrams. Well worth adding to your collection.
