Simple and concise by Seddy X  5 Stars
April 28, 2009
I've read both Nunn and West's respiratory physiology. Although Nunn's has got more detail, I think West's book is written better. Another good supplement for reading respiratory physiology is in Miller's anaesthesia.

Terrible! by bekkspete  1 Stars
February 09, 2009
Do not buy this book! It is very poorly organized, often referring to figures and concepts in other chapters. The index is paltry, having very few terms indexed and therefore making looking things up very difficult. In addition, there are multiple typos. This is like the 7th edition and there are still typos?!? Let's get serious here. Also, there are no explanations to the answers! The text in general is leaves much to be desired in terms of organization and clarity. Again, maybe you don't get around to it on edition 1 or 2-- but by now, write some explanations (especially since the text is so hard to understand). I conferred with classmates on opinions of this book, and they all agreed at how poor this book is! Look elsewhere for a resource!

Great for quick review by MS2 (Seattle, WA) 5 Stars
December 06, 2008
Our syllabus for the respiratory course was pretty poor. I found this book to be a great, quick review for respiratory physiology with pictures/diagrams that were really helpful for solidifying important concepts. I'm definitely going to hang on to it to study for boards...

Good Enough by M. Desai  3 Stars
October 05, 2008
I used this book to study pulmonary during my second year of medical school. It was a good book and it helped clarify a lot of the physical mechanics behind ventilation. However, I felt like it was very wordy. I like the "a picture is worth a 1000 words" approach to learning, so I felt that the paragraphs were too wordy and that the graph's captions did not explain enough. However, it was extremely helpful and a great study guide.

Great Intro for First Year by MedStudent (Baltimore) 5 Stars
September 07, 2008
I bought this book for 5 bucks online and read it cover to cover in 2 days before the exam on pulm phys. Its a great, short book that encapsulates everything you need to know. Our lecturers ripped diagrams and concepts straight from the text.
