5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for Pulmonary Pathophysiology, June 13, 2000
By Sean Young (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pulmonary Pathophysiology: the Essentials (Paperback)
This book is very concise and covers all of the necessary information for a Pulmonary Disease course. Also worthy of mention is the fact that is is the top selling book in the field in it's category. I find it perfect for a Respiratory Therapist, Medical Student, or Physician's Assistant due to the easy to learn format and clear writing style of the author. Also, rumor has it that West is coming out with a combined Pathophysiology and Physiology for Pulmonary that should be well done as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars poorly explained, confusing, and misleading, March 27, 2008
This review is from: Pulmonary Pathophysiology: The Essentials (Paperback)
This is not a good text. There is too little information and explanation for the concepts. In addition, the back of the book claims that the questions are in USMLE format and that explanations are provided, but that is simply a lie. There are no explanations. Compared to physiology texts such as those by Costanzo or Lilly, this book is very weak.
