Respiratory Unit, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, UK
Chapters are well designed and the one on management of acute asthma in adults is extremely well done. The descriptions are thorough and complete. Clinical case examples are helpful for readers. Illustrations showing the metered-dose inhaler are useful for clinicians as well as for patients. The chapter on occupational asthma will be very helpful in day-to-day practice. The authors have written a simple guide and clinical reference for asthma. This easy to understand book will find its place on practitioners' desks. (5 stars) -K. P. Ravikrishnan, FRCP (C), FACP FCCP, William Beaumont Hospitals, Doody's Review Service ...a practical resource and a daily aid for young physicians in both a hospital setting and in primary care... plenty of practical information... a very appealing format, with lots of graphs and illustrations and an easy to read text... very well written and very to the point... worth reading -M.
