The Respiratory System by Andrew Davies (School of Applied Sciences, University of Glamorgan)
Aimed principally at those on the "new" medical curriculum, this textbook on the respiratory system covers the structure and function of the system and its major diseases. It offers integrated coverage of the structure, function and major diseases of the respiratory system. The cove rage of the basic science is clinically driven - a common clinical presentation introduces each major topic. Coverage of major diseases of the respiratory system equips students for the contact with patients which occurs early in the "new" medical course.
