This edition integrates self-test questions, illustrations, and detailed explanations, as well as provides new material on sleep disordered breathing, the newer methods of staging of lung cancer, interstitial lung diseases, and infections.

The third edition of this bestselling book provides new material on sleep disordered breathing, new methods for the staging of lung cancer, interstitial lung diseases and infections -- all of which have grown in importance since the previous edition. The traditional areas of respiratory medicine remain strongly represented and the new edition contains many new radiological illustrations. The book contains integrated self-test questions, illustrations and detailed explanations. It is designed to educate as well as give answers to problems. The cases appear in random order and at varying levels of difficulty, mimicing how patients present in practice. The "Colour Review" will appeal to a wide readership, ranging from senior medical students and post-registration trainees in internal medicine, to pulmonologists in training and practice, for examination revision and continuing education.

Challenging cases with good clinical data is always an excellent exercise for clinicians practicing in pulmonary and critical care. This book also is an excellent resource for trainees. The image quality is superb, the case presentations are precise, and discussion of the topics is to the point. (4 stars)-K. P.
