I love this series! Its clearly written, with great diagrams, and loads of questions. Its great for revision and is really easy to dip into and out of. I love the the sexy pink too...

I think this book gets my top recommendation for learning, understanding & revising respiratory physiology and disease at an earlier level in a Medical Course (Years 1-3). It is also very good as a quick revision in later years as before starting on a clinical respiratory placement. Right from the start physiological concepts are shown in relation to disease pathology — the best way to understand a disease progress and therefore it’s presentation and treatment. It is well laid out and written in an easy to read style. simple diagrams help to get the concepts across very clearly. X-ray pictures are included for many diseases. Quick tip boxes remind you of take-home messages or important concepts that may have been covered previously, without needing to look back. Also includes exam-style questions to test your understanding at the end of each topic
