From the reviews of the fourth edition:
"This book ... broadly addresses all aspects of Pulmonary disease. It is a comprehensive and up-to-date treatise ... . The audience would include primary care internists, pulmonologists, and intensivists ... . Nurses, respiratory therapists, and rehabilitators would undoubtedly find this informative. ... This book achieves its ... intended goals well. ... I personally would consider it a practical resource and would have some ... enthusiasm about adding it to my personal library."(Joel C Seidman, Doody's Review Service, November, 2008)
