Critics Review
…this book is highly useful and deserves the interest of (COPD) patients, their families and their carers…all the important and practical aspects of COPD are covered…this concise book…may help, in some way, to reduce the burden of COPD in the community at large, and the author should be congratulated for the quality of this contribution. * European Respiratory Review *
