excellent survey by John (Ann Arbor)  5 Stars
February 14, 2008
Not a medic and only superficially knowledgeable, I was looking for a summary of pulmonary functioning. This book is very helpful, especially the questions & answers. It is perfect!

Everything you need for pulmonary phys. by J. Tate (Charlotte, N.C.) 5 Stars
June 08, 2007
An amazing book on the how pulmonary physiology really works. Extremely detailed and the ever so important quick read. You will not have to get another book concerning this topic. I may be a little biased as Levitzky was a professor at my school and I had first hand experience with him and his book. However, I was reassured when I saw 3 different Pulm/CC docs with his book on their shelf.

Great book, even better in person! by LSU Med Student (New Orleans, LA USA) 5 Stars
February 23, 2006
This is an excellent textbook. It basically mirrors Dr. L's lectures. If you've never heard him speak, you're missing out.

MUCH BETTER THAN WEST'S by VizionQuest (Columbia, MO) 5 Stars
July 10, 2005
This is a great pulmonary physiology text that exceeds the commonly used text West text in both content and teaching. This text brings the concepts together whereas the text by John West often leaves key connections out.

Sloppy and convoluted by turbodorc  1 Stars
June 11, 2005
I had to use this book because it was required for the physiology course I took, and the test questions were taken from it. However, it is the most sloppy textbook I have ever dealt with. It is so cryptical and convoluted, it actually makes the material HARDER to learn. (For example, bizarre acronyms are introduced in the answers to sample problems that are never even been discussed in the text itself.) The different sections of the book refer you back and forth to one another without explaining anything in a basic way. In addition, the index is terrible, so you can't even try to dope things out on your own. I would advise you to not get this book if you can avoid it, especially if you are a student trying to learn this material for the first time.
