This book provides all the key information that trainee and practitioner pulmonologists need to know, in one print and digital resource. The first two pages of each chapter offer a summary of the area covered, with chapters on specific respiratory diseases covering epidemiology, clinical features, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment.

Professor Pallav Shah is a consultant physician in respiratory medicine at Royal Brompton Hospital and also at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.

Felix J. F. Herth graduated at the University of Freiburg and was trained in Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, Germany and Boston, USA. He is Professor of Pneumology at the University of Heidelberg.

Yun Chor Gary Lee (MBChB PhD FRACP FRCP FCCP) is a chest physician and clinician scientist with an interest in translational research of pleural disease. His pleural program includes a laboratory and a clinical research arm closely integrated with an active tertiary clinical pleural disease service. He is Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Western Australia, Director of Pleural Services at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, and leads the Pleural Medicine research group at the Institute for Respiratory Health in Perth, Australia.

Concise yet comprehensive, this textbook of clinical pulmonology provides pulmonologists and respiratory disease physicians with all the key information that they need to know to manage the patient through the diagnosis and treatment journeys.

From the most common condition to the rarest, each disease is consistently presented and comprehensively covered giving the reader just the key facts. Building upon the basic sciences and integrating these with clinical practice, each chapter has a consistent approach, is highly designed and visually appealing. Numerous illustrations, colour photographs, scans, bullet points, tables and algorithms ensure that the key information is available at a glance. The keynote sections serve as a useful revision aid as do the multiple choice questions. A truly international and highly experienced editorship with expert contributors from around the world ensure that the book remains a trusted source of information.
