Review :
"This is a good complete respiratory book, brief enough to be able to use as a quick and easy book to look up." (BMA Medical Book Competition - Programme and Award Winners, September 2008) "Lecture Notes in Respiratory Medicine is concise and easy to read. It walks you through the essentials such as physiology and pulmonary function tests before taking you through each key repiratory pathology. The diagrams and radiological images make it enjoyable and effortless to read." Medical Student, Oxofrd University "Best respiratory textbook to use - all you need to cover in one small book. Simple and concise, there is sufficient detail to cover PBL, the content is first rate. Section on radiology makes the practical aspects less daunting...The only book needed for respiratory medicine - ideal for revision or learning as you go, its size makes it ideal to carry with you so it's available to dip into when needed. Plenty of diagrams to catch the eye." Medical Student, University of East Anglia
