Hardback This textbook on diseases of the chest maintains a primary focus on clinical topics whilst also covering the basic principles and mechanisms. It concentrates only on those basic aspects which are essential to understanding the diagnosis and management of a disease for the clinician at the bedside. The fifth edition addresses advances in respiratory medicine whilst maintaining the strong clinical flavour of its predecessors.; There are 11 new chapters: genetics of lung disease; smoking; air pollution; obliterative bronchiolitis; reactive airways dysfunction; sleep apnoea; lung disease in children; lung disease in the third world; diving; lung transplantation; and medico-legal aspects. The single chapter on asthma has been expanded into three separate chapters on epidemiology, mechanisms and management to reflect the research effort currently underway which has followed a marked increase in the incidence of asthma in recent years.
