Description:

Existing textbooks of respiratory medicine tend to be both out of date and rather uninspiring in appearance, and many undergraduates rely upon the coverage of the subject available in large textbooks of medicine such as Kumar, Davidson and Souhami. This new book has all the advantages of the ICT series - double page spreads, full colour illustration, boxes and tables - and offers a much more attractive and accessible treatment of the subject than is currently available at undergraduate level.
