I have no clue why I ever paided for this book. THere are MUCH better books on this topic out there.I would not recomend this book to anyone. This is an over priced book. You could get info like this at a local clinic.

A handy little pamphlet for the novice medical consumer.
Offers no great insight for clinicians or knowledgable patients.

In my opinion, this is a great book for people with little or no medical knowledge, especially parents of asthmatic children. This book is concise yet easy to read with all the necessary information to understand asthma without confusing medical jargon. It's what my wife and I needed to know about asthma.

During the past year, I have read the top 20 asthma book best sellers, and in my opinion, this overpriced little booklet ranks in the bottom third. This 70 page paperback is a reasonable but uninspired short summary of allopathic asthma information and advice, but gives little detail. There is no index, no references, no web addresses, only 3 crude drawings, only a short glossary, and a boring font. The best section is 24 pages of questions and answers. A much better summary booklet at one-third the price is the colorful Home Medical Guide to Asthma by the American College of Physicians, and the best asthma book is Dr. Tom Plaut's Asthma Guide for only $20.

As a health care professional who encounters many asthmatics in acute attacks, I encourage anyone affected by asthma to read this book. Dr. Sorenson clearly, concretely, and thoroughly explains to non-health care professionals the pathophysiology involved in asthma as well as the current treatment for this disease. I would recommend this book especially for parents of asthmatic children or for older children who wish to understand how to prevent and treat asthma attacks. I believe the best way to manage a disease is to learn everything one can about the disease so they may live as though they do not have it. Use this book as a tool to learning about asthma.

As a parent of a young child with some asthma type symptoms,this book was so informative! It gave me quick insight into the disease and the treatment options available. The question/answer section was also a helpful addition.
