I have this book and the West book. There is not question this book is better. West waves his hands at a lot of problems but never works them out in a detailed way. That isn't the way I learn. This book takes you through detailed solutions so you can better understand the concepts involved. I didn't have time to read the whole book but whenever I was confused by a professor I could look it up in this book and figure the problem out.
This is a wonderful book for anyone looking to learn pulmonary physiology, especially physio majors and medical students. It starts at a very basic level and proceeds through some of the more complicated topics (at least for me!!). I'm a first year medical student, and our first medical subject after basic sciences was pulmonary physiology. The professors recommended West, but a friend of mine was a physiology major in undergrad and recommended Levitzky. After reading the book, I was extremely happy with it. West may be more well known, but Levitzky's book provides a concise and complete explanation of the relavent topics, including structure and mechanics of the lungs, gas diffusion, and control and regulation of breathing. Very readable and accessible to people with little to no experience in physiology and respiration.
Great resource for PA school. It breaks things down in to easy to digest chapters with review questions at the end. Helped me gain a better understanding of pulmonary physiology. Dr Levitzky knows his pulm phys. The book was recommended by the phys Phd in my PA program who was taught by Levitzky. I recommend it as well
An amazing book on the how pulmonary physiology really works. Extremely detailed and the ever so important quick read. You will not have to get another book concerning this topic. I may be a little biased as Levitzky was a professor at my school and I had first hand experience with him and his book. However, I was reassured when I saw 3 different Pulm/CC docs with his book on their shelf.
Dr. Levitzky writes a great pulmonary physiology text. It is very clear and easy to understand for a medical student. I've had the opportunity to use both this book (in med school) and the West pulmonary physio book (during my master's program), and I have to say, for my medical education, Levitzky's book is the one I trust. He uses images and explanations from other books (West's included) to create a complete and thorough explanation of pulmonary function. He includes a lot of practice questions that are relavent to the understanding of the physiology and math. He is continually making improvements to his text, as evidenced during comparisons between the different editions. The most important thing about this book, is that the author, Dr. Levitzky, WRITES SOME OF THE PULMONARY PHYSIO QUESTIONS for the USMLE Step 1. If that is not reason enough to get this book and commit it to memory, I don't know what is.
I had the privilege of being taught by the writer of this book. A perfect companion to any Med-Phys course. No cutting corners, just straight, well organized, well-versed information. Highly recommended.
This is a great pulmonary physiology text that exceeds the commonly used text West text in both content and teaching. This text brings the concepts together whereas the text by John West often leaves key connections out.
I had to use this book because it was required for the physiology course I took, and the test questions were taken from it. However, it is the most sloppy textbook I have ever dealt with. It is so cryptical and convoluted, it actually makes the material HARDER to learn. (For example, bizarre acronyms are introduced in the answers to sample problems that are never even been discussed in the text itself.) The different sections of the book refer you back and forth to one another without explaining anything in a basic way. In addition, the index is terrible, so you can't even try to dope things out on your own. I would advise you to not get this book if you can avoid it, especially if you are a student trying to learn this material for the first time.
