This is a very readable text with nice figures. Each chapter ends with a summary of key concepts, questions with answers in the appendix, and clinical correlation. I have had a number of editions of this book over the years and have thoroughly enjoyed the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars I was hoping for a little more on some advanced topics.

I recently took over teaching the respiratory physiology components for our undergrad, grad, and professional programs. I was looking for a text to offer perspectives on some topics I am still having a little trouble fully understanding after having read West's and Guyton and Hall's texts. Unfortunately the clarity I was seeking was not in this text either. It appears to be fine for the basics, but it fell a little short in meeting my needs.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really for beginners.
Reviewed in Australia on January 25, 2022

This textbook has been quite a disappointment. I bought it to revise lung physiology (I am 30 years post exams) and found the writing rapidly jargonised and the diagrams - although simple - were NOT clear. At times I had to peer closely to figure out how diagram on one side differed from diagram on the other. Essentially, I found you had to know what it was talking about to understand it. I read, and enjoyed West's physiology years ago and have dealt with ventilators intermittantly since - and yet found the terminology remains counterintuitive. I think it is time that a pedagogue revised the traditional nomenclature such that it is more straighforward - time to further separate such dualities as 'restrictive' and 'resistive', delta V and dot V - or at the very least point out the differences before launching into mathematical explanations.
