This third edition of the ERS Handbook of Respiratory Medicine has been extensively revised and expanded, with more than 100 chapters covering the full spectrum of adult respiratory medicine.
The ERS Handbook of Respiratory Medicine is a concise, compact and easy-to-read guide to each of the key areas in respiratory medicine. Its 20 sections, written by clinicians and researchers at the forefront of the field, explain the structure and function of the respiratory system, its disorders and how to treat them.
The Handbook is a must-have for anyone who intends to remain up to date in the field, and to have within arm's reach a reference that covers everything from the basics to the latest developments in respiratory medicine.
