Great for quick review

Our syllabus for the respiratory course was pretty poor. I found this book to be a great, quick review for respiratory physiology with pictures/diagrams that were really helpful for solidifying important concepts. I'm definitely going to hang on to it to study for boards...

Great Intro for First Year

I bought this book for 5 bucks online and read it cover to cover in 2 days before the exam on pulm phys. Its a great, short book that encapsulates everything you need to know. Our lecturers ripped diagrams and concepts straight from the text.

Simple and concise

I've read both Nunn and West's respiratory physiology. Although Nunn's has got more detail, I think West's book is written better. Another good supplement for reading respiratory physiology is in Miller's anaesthesia.

Good Enough

I used this book to study pulmonary during my second year of medical school. It was a good book and it helped clarify a lot of the physical mechanics behind ventilation. However, I felt like it was very wordy. I like the "a picture is worth a 1000 words" approach to learning, so I felt that the paragraphs were too wordy and that the graph's captions did not explain enough. However, it was extremely helpful and a great study guide.

Widely considered the "gold standard" textbook for respiratory physiology, this compact, concise, and easy-to-read text is now in its fully updated Eighth Edition. New student-friendly features include Key Points boxes at the end of each chapter and review questions and answers. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text, plus animations that illustrate difficult physiologic concepts.
