3.0 out of 5 stars You have to know it, April 5, 2008

By	MimMe (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

This book gives much background information, in great detail. I do not recommend it for people who want to gain basic undstanding of cardiopulmonary therapy, unless you are really trying to become perfect at it.Good book but very detailed; almost too much information.
