Review

"Strength: likes the idea of summarizing the math and science concepts, particularly as a student resource. This book contains good coverage on several topics that confuse respiratory students the most." - Robin Garland, Firelands College, Bowling Green State University, OH

"The advantage of our textbook is that it is worth referring back to when students/practitioners need to clarify concepts. " - Ruben Restrepo, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, TX
