'The book is generously illustrated with tables and colour figures. The references are comprehensive and up-to-date, citing the most recent literature including 2005. Many opinion leaders in the field are found among the 47 authors.
The book timely covers one area which has never been addressed in the series, i.e. respiratory sleep medicine. Although this field is booming worldwide, it has still to be discovered by many practitioners in different disciplines, including respiratory medicine. Accordingly, this book is highly recommended as a reference work to the interested reader. It will appeal to pneumologists, sleep and ENT specialists, neurologists, dental surgeons, cardiologists, obstetricians, general practitioners as well as public health specialists.'
