Description
Reflects the explosion of information and technological breakthroughs that have facilitated investigations into the development of the lung-including recombinant DNA technology, molecular genetics, transgenics, and advances in lung cell and mo-lecular biology. Provides nearly 2800 bibliographic citations and over 170 tables, drawings, and x-rays to help clarify specific discussions.
Reviews / Votes
"...McDonald is to be commended for producing a text that includes both in-depth coverage of major advances in lung development and an assessment of important research areas that remain unexplored.
"-The Physiologist
