  The fifth edition of this superbly written book has been fully updated with the help of an excellent teacher of Respiratory Medicine, Stephan J Bourke. The concise text and the addition of X-rays makes this edition ever more useful to those medical students, specialist nurses and junior doctors who require a thorough grounding in respiratory diseases and their management. The book retains Brewis's beautiful original cartoons. Reviews of previous editions have established this book as the best of its kind!. ...no hesitation in recommending the book as a useful reference work for medical students and doctors who are not specialist respiratory physicians...the price is extremely reasonable.
