Reflects the explosion of information and technological breakthroughs that have facilitated investigations into the development of the lung, including recombinant DNA technology, molecular genetics, transgenics and advances in lung cell and molecular biology. The text provides nearly 2800 bibliographic citations and over 170 tables, drawings and
x-rays to help clarify specific discussions.
