### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Useful pulmonary physiology introduction and reference
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 7, 2012*

I used this book for my pulmonary block in medical school. If you like to preview topics before class, this book covers everything that will be discussed. It's also good for clarifying the more difficult concepts from lecture. The book goes into more detail than is strictly required for basic medical pulmonology (e.g. derivations of mathematical representations of concepts), however, the biggest ideas are well-summarized at the end of each chapter in the practice question section. Taking into account the relatively low cost, short length, and usefulness as a reference and practice question bank, I recommend this book for medical school pulmonary coursework.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Too dense
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2012*

This tiny book took me a week and a half to read because I found that some of the difficult concepts were no sufficiently explained so I found myself consulting different sources to explain things on a more fundamental levelIf you are looking to just memorize what you need to know, this book is perfect for you. However, if you are wanting a more fundamental understanding of respiratory physiology, I would advice you to go a different route.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    THE book on respiratory physiology.
  

*by E***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2014*

I had a much earlier version of this book for medical school and often found myself wanting to revisit the principles outlined by West.  So, I got this recently.  It is such an easy read with no fluff.  The true sign of a teacher is someone able to take a complex subject and simplify it for the learner.  West does this impeccably.  This can easily be read in a day without much effort.  It's too bad all physiology isn't presented in such a manner.  Thank you John West!
