An authoritative, accessible guide to how our lungs work and how to protect them.

Every day, our lungs circulate 11,000 liters of air, provide us with life-sustaining oxygen, and allow us to speak, sing, and smell. It’s no secret that our lungs are one of our most vital organs, and yet most of us pay them little attention. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, has reminded us of the importance of our lungs, and sparked interest in their function and the risks they face.

In Breathing Lessons, leading pulmonologist and national spokesperson for the American Lung Association Dr. MeiLan K. Han takes readers on a fascinating tour of this neglected yet crucial organ. Han explains the wonder of breathing and reveals how the lungs serve as the body’s first line of defense. She provides a timely overview of the latest scientific thinking about the leading respiratory risks―including indoor and outdoor pollution, smoking and vaping, wildfire smoke, and viruses like SARS-CoV-2―and offers practical advice on how to protect the lungs at each stage of our lives, beginning in the womb. She outlines the major categories of chronic lung disease and demystifies the process lung doctors go through in making a diagnosis and recommending treatments. With authority as both practitioner and medical researcher, Han argues powerfully for social policies that make preserving lung health a national priority.

Breathing Lessons is a rallying cry for lung health and an urgent call to start giving our lungs the attention they deserve.

Críticas

"A comprehensive guide to lung structure, without seeming too daunting to a layman reader… [Han's] call for pulmonary education could not have come at a better time."
― Bri Paterson, The Lancet

"Han's heartfelt plea to 'preserve human lung health' hits all the marks. Comprehensive and accessible, [Breathing Lessons] arrives right on time."
― Publishers Weekly

"Concise and accessible…A fine primer to an essential organ."
― Kirkus Reviews

"Breathing is essential to life, yet historically, the lungs haven’t received as much attention as other organs of the body. Especially as our world faces the intersecting health threats of COVID-19, chronic lung diseases, and air pollution, Breathing Lessons is an imperative and engaging read for all those who breathe."
― Harold Wimmer, President and CEO, American Lung Association

"Combines memoir with how-to guide in order to explain the importance of our lungs…A practical guide to an essential organ; will especially interest readers of James Nestor's Breath."
― Margaret Henderson, Library Journal

Great Book But Defective Glue on Back Cover

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 8 de mayo de 2023

Compra verificada

Great info on Lung Health, and a beautiful book. Thank you to Dr. Han for her expertise, compassion and writing this book. My new hard copy had defective glue on the back cover that made the book come apart. My replacement book also had defective glue and I am told there are no replacements available. So I had to sadly return the book.
I see there is a paperback edition coming out in October 2023 which I will buy for my health library.

Thriving in spite of asthma

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 2 de diciembre de 2021

Compra verificada

The book, "Breathing Lessons," is an incredible resource for anyone interested in lung health!

I've had asthma since I was a young child, but I never truly understood how the lungs work until reading this book. Dr. Han uses metaphors to explain lung function so you don't need a medical degree to grasp it. She also explains common lung diseases and how many of these problems are preventable.

It may be cliche to say "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," but that is core message I got from reading "Breathing Lessons." I am grateful for this book and the wealth of information it offers!

I loved this book. Dr. Han is an expert in her field and she wrote a book that was easily accessible to lay person (such as myself). Her experience combined with her thoughtfulness make this book a must have for anyone interested in the lungs and lung health. If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

Dr. Han manages to make very complicated medical information incredibly digestible, easy to understand and intriguing! I also love how you get to know a bit about her as well and how she ended up where she is - you can really feel her passion for her work in the writing! Highly recommend!

An incisive look into the importance and preservation of lung health

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 3 de noviembre de 2021

Did you know the average person takes over 600 million breaths in their lifetime?

Seeing as how respiration is a largely unconscious process that is regulated in the medulla oblongata, one of the most primitive parts of the brain, you probably didn't. The reason for that is because breathing with ease isn't something many people have to think about. It's a vital biological operation that occurs in the background without anyone having to focus on it, so people tend to take the seemingly "effortless" vitality of the lungs for granted as a result.

That is...until they experience problems that effect their ability to breathe well themselves and panic.

As someone who has lived with moderate asthma for much of my life, and has suffered from both chronic and acute lung exacerbations over the years, I've been there. It sucks. Nobody wants to know what it feels like to choke on air they can't seem to catch. To wheeze. To cough and cough and cough. To have their chest fill with sharp, restrictive fire every time their body encounters another allergen or sneaky little pathogen it doesn't like. No one wants to experience the physiological terrors that are involved in breathing difficulties, no one.

Lung problems and disease are a lot more prevalent nationwide than we may know let alone realize, however. On the whole they remain poorly understood. They can be left undiagnosed or unrecognized until the late stages, too. One of the reasons for this is because doctor's offices don't measure lung function regularly like they do blood pressure or heart rate - which seems insane, almost negligent, when you consider that being able to breathe is imperative to staying alive, right? - and also because the money that is invested in lung research isn't proportionate to the number of patients who are living with lung disease. That means there isn't enough data out there yet to tell a cohesive story or pattern about those who already are or someday could be afflicted. There's so much more out there still to be discovered, studied, experimented, and used for treatment.

I appreciated how this book provided insight into the importance of lung function, lung diagnostics, and overall lung health. It was informative and absorbing. Easily comprehensible for those of us who are neither medical practitioners nor pulmonologists.

The author started off by taking readers through a brief overview of how the lungs work and why. Then she discussed how things like smoking, pollution, vaping, and viruses like influenza or Covid-19 can pose severe respiratory risks. After that, she offered practical suggestions for how to keep the lungs healthy (even if they're diseased) and proposed a kind social intervention that will make the preservation of lung health a priority in medicine.

Breathing is vital to life, to living, so really...why isn't it one already? Better yet, how come it hasn't been one long before now?

Asthma suffer or not, I've never stopped to ask myself those questions before reading this book, but I'm asking them now. I'm encouraging you to ask them, too. What more can I say? I'm with Dr. Han, I think it's time we all knew more about the in's and out's of breathing.
