Title: Concise, but not for the faint of heart
Review: Invariably, if you are studying pulmonary physiology or respiratory systems or anesthesia or anything involving the lung, you have heard of "West's zones of the lung." Take it from the source. And while at first glance you might think you can get through this text in an hour, be prepared, it reads like Finnegan's Wake.....well, maybe more like Ullyses.You should expect to read this book cover to cover at least twice. Some sections will require the same amount of time you would engaging a much longer, more belaboured text and your brain might feel like scrambled eggs. But once you've read and understood West, you understand lung and respiratory physiology.Full of useful diagrams and explanations, the only thing i felt this book lacked was a good flow from one subject to another. But from PFT's, to alveolar function and cellular physiology, this book will cover everything you need to know.
