Review of the previous edition: "This comprehensive volume is the first of a planned series of four dealing with pulmonary toxicology. As a source of information on the comparative biology of the mammalian lung it is unrivalled....There is no doubt that this is an excellent book. Anybody who is professionally concerned with the biology of the lung should have access to a copy. ...If the next three volumes are as good as this then the series will be a benchmark publication in inhalation toxicology." - R.L. Maynard, Occupational and Environmental Medicine journal, Nov 1995
