* The only text to cover lung function assessment from first principles including methodology, reference values and interpretation * New for this edition: - More illustrations to convey concepts clearly to the busy physician - Text completely re-written in a contemporary style: includes user-friendly equations and more diagrams - New material covering the latest advances in the treatment of lung function, including more on sleep-related disorders, a stronger clinical and practical bias and more on new techniques and equipment - Uses the standard Vancouver referencing system * What the experts say: "I have always considered Dr Cotes' book the most authoritative book published on lung function. It is also the most comprehensive. " Dr Robert Crapo, Pulmonary Division, LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City, USA "I think I can fairly speak on behalf of staff in lung function departments the length and breadth of the country - that a sixth edition of Cotes would be gratefully received." Dr Brendan Cooper, Clinical Respiratory Scientist, Nottingham City Hospital
