"John West's book is a minor classic in respiratory physiology...The author deals with this difficult subject in a lucid text supported by a number of simple and illustrative figures which contribute much to the reader's understanding...This small book can be warmly recommended to anyone who feels the need for an introduction to this subject, a central one in the pathophysiology of the lung." European Journal of Respiratory Diseases (on the fourth edition)
