Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Adams (The Asthma Sourcebook, Lowell, 1995) has written a comprehensive guide to breathing disorders for the lay reader. He does not avoid medical terminology but uses contextual clues throughout to convey his meaning. The opening chapter describes the neurological and chemical processes necessary for respiration. Once the process of normal respiration is established, Adams describes what can go wrong. He enumerates the steps taken in diagnosing a breathing disorder and discusses many disorders in detail, covering causes, symptoms, and treatments. The final chapter has suggestions for pulmonary rehabilitation and learning to live with a breathing disorder. The book is illustrated with X-ray photographs and drawings and includes tables that outline the information in the text. An appendix of relevant sources, including publications, organizations, and Internet sites, completes this valuable book.?Sherry Feintuch, East Shore Lib., Harrisburg, PA
