First published in 1980, Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases & Disorders is the classic
reference through which pulmonary physicians have gained a commanding look at the
diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases and disorders. Edited by the world's
foremost authorities, Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases & Disorders covers exactly what
you need to know about lung diseases and their management, including
sleep-disordered breathing, COPD, emphysema, and lung cancer, as well as new
technological advances and imaging techniques.
This unparalleled two-volume resource begins with a compelling overview of up-to-date
clinical perspectives, along with the scientific basis of lung function health and disease.
It then provides turnkey information on everything from respiratory disease signs and
symptoms, to obstructive lung diseases, occupational and environmental disorders,
and specific respiratory conditions such as infections diseases of the lungs and acute
respiratory failure.

Crofton and Douglas's
Respiratory Diseases
(Two-Volume Set)
Now in its Fifth Edition, Crofton and Douglas's Respiratory Diseases has firmly
established itself as the leading clinical textbook on diseases of the chest.
Presented, for the first time, as a two-volume set, this classic text has been
completely rewritten and greatly expanded. Extensive revisions ensure that
these volumes present an up-to-date review of all aspects of lung disease
. The contributions of some 18 leading authorities ensure that each area is
comprehensively covered and new to this edition are chapters on the genetics
of lung disease, smoking, air pollution, sleep apnoea, diving, lung
transplantation and medico-legal aspects. The changes in content reflect the
pace of change in the areas concerned not only in terms of understanding of
the disease processes but also their treatment. The single chapter on asthma
that appeared in previous editions, has now been expanded into three
chapters covering epidemiology, mechanisms and management, reflecting the
enormous research effort currently underway following a marked increase in
the incidence of this disease in recent years.
