Foundations of Respiratory Care

Rating:
Summary: horrible
Review: I am an RT student and this was one of our required texts. We were the first class to have this book inflicted on us. Numerous mistakes have been found, by the students! Some of the answers to the review questions at the end of each chapter are nowhere to be found. We are all having a book burning party at the end of the semester. (That is not a joke) Please do not subject yourself to this book! Egans rules!

Summary: stay away
Review: I really hate to say it , but this book is just not worth 1/20th of any other major respiratory care book (for example Egan's fundamentals of RC or Dean Hess et al, RC: principles and practice) I feel bad saying it since I know how much hard work it takes to get a book to be printed. The whole design, bad fonts,cheap paper, and organization of the book is really bad. You could gather 2 or 3 chapters that are decent, but we all know that for the book to be successful it must have at least 3/4 of its material acceptable to read and enjoy. I doubt this book will make it into 2nd ed.

Summary: horrible
Review: This book is horrible. And so expensive too, for such aa bad book. Why would you want to buy this book when you can get Egan's respiratory care in color and beautifuly written too for similar price? Dont make a mistake. Unless you have money to throw away and dont care about quality then go ahead and buy it.
