"The audience is generalists, since both conditions are common, and specialists, since allergic diseases often impact sleep. ... this is a timely summary of a complex issue. The book is organized and clearly written. ... I recommend this as a useful resource for respiratory specialists, rhinologists, allergists/immunologists, asthma specialists, and generalists. The book will inform you, not put you to sleep." (Dennis Ledford, Doody's Book Reviews, December 7, 2019)
