Pre–publication review:
"This volume was eagerly anticipated as a companion piece to the excellent ′Cardiovascular System at a Glance′, and it does not disappoint. ′The Respiratory System at a Glance′ provides a concise, digestible synopsis of the respiratory system. Essential basic features and clinical aspects of the respiratory system are covered thoroughly but succinctly. Bravo!"
––Lecturer in Physiology, Cardiff University
Published Reviews of the 1st Edition
"...the book provides a succint yet easy–to–follow approach that examines each disorder in terms of its pathology, clinical presentation as well as its treatment.... these [case studies] can be used for self–testing and they are a useful way of bringing information together.... It is very useful for revising for finals, but is a pleasant enough book to read even before that!" (Cambridge Medicine, Vol. 18, No. 1, Autumn 2003)
"The use of ′at a glance′ in the title promises clear, easy to understand diagrams and, more importantly, hints at a slightly shorter reading time. The promise is delivered...Suddenly it′s all so simple! You really feel like you have learnt a topic once you′ve read the two pages devoted to it.... I thoroughly recommend this book. The case studies are done brilliantly at the back of the book, even containing a comprehensable reproduction of a chest x–ray."

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book with clear explanations, graphs, diagrams and clinical pictures. Respiratory physiology is made very easy to understand and clinical procedures are well explained. 40 topics are included and are very well summarised making each one each quick to learn. The only down side to the book is that its in black and white.

Format:Paperback
The book is a good read, it has everything you would need to know as a medical student, however i have personally found books just as in depth and the same price that are far easier to read and are in colour. there are some great sections in the book as has been previsouly mentionned, however i did not find the layout particularly easy, and the fact that it is in black and white makes it quite boring when doing copious amounts of work from it (even with the funky tables charts and pictures)

I saw this book on the Respiratory ward where I work. After flicking through it, I knew I'd have to get my own copy! It's the clarity and user-friendliness that's striking.
