| Abstract
|
:
|
SK Jindal (pulmonary medicine, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, India) served as editor-in-chief and, with the help of associate editors and sections editors, brought together the work of approximately 100 contributors--many based in India but a large number from the US, and a few from elsewhere in the world. The result is an extraordinarily thorough two-volume text. Coverage includes basic principles and recent advances; in addition, as stated in the foreword by US-based Sidney Braman (former president ACCP), this text "...also offers a unique exposure to the problems in many parts of the world." Tuberculosis is extensively covered as are the noncommunicable respiratory diseases that are having increasingly dire effects on populations and economies. Discussion encompasses indoor and outdoor air pollution, climate change, pesticide poisonings, and industrial accidents, among other important challenges. End-of-life care is thoroughly addressed. Clarity and comprehensiveness are hallmarks of this reference. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
