Review "This is a well-written and well-organized book on pulmonary pathophysiology and should be a very useful resource for medical students and postgraduate trainees. Although aimed primarily at medical students taking a respiratory pathophysiology course, the book also should prove useful for residents and fellows training in pulmonary medicine, as well as for practicing physicians wishing a review." Reviewed by Santosh Dhungana, MD (Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine) About the Author Dr. Steven Weinberger is a very esteemed pulmonologist and is Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer Emeritus of the American College of Physicians as well as Adjunct Professor of Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and formerly Senior Lecturer at Harvard Medical School. He’s recently retired from full-time teaching but remains very actively involved in the field. As on prior editions Dr. Weinberger will have primary responsibility for reviewing and editing all chapters and will share chapter updating with Drs. Cockrill and Mandel, both of whom are also well respected and active speakers in the subspeciality of pulmonology.
