The contributors to "Mechanics of Breathing" approach this complex physiological subject from the perspective of every relevant field: medicine, anatomy, physiology, engineering, acoustics, physics, mathematics, surface chemistry, immunology, cellular biology, neurophysiology, and psychology. Their aim is not only to provide an intensive examination available of the subject, but also to facilitate communication among varied disciplines. Much recent information about respiratory mechanics is included in this invaluable reference on a rapidly evolving subject.
