Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This excellent resource for researchers working in the area of respiratory control is full of original work presented at the 10th Oxford conference held in 2006 in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. ... Researchers and clinicians in pulmonary and sleep medicine will find this book valuable, as will respiratory physiologists, students, and trainees in pulmonary diseases. ... This is a good referral resource for researchers who are actively working in the field of respiratory control." (K. P. Ravikrishnan, Doody's Review Service, October, 2008)
