What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A comprehensive guide to lung structure, without seeming too daunting to a layman reader…[Han’s] call pulmonary education could not have come at a better time.” – Bri Paterson - The Lancet“Breathing is essential to life, yet historically, the lungs haven’t received as much attention as other organs of the body. Especially as our world faces the intersecting health threats of COVID-19, chronic lung diseases, and air pollution, Breathing Lessons is an imperative and engaging read for all those who breathe.” – Harold Wimmer, President and CEO, American Lung Association
