The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations: Respiratory System
Volume 3

The ultimate Netter Collection for the respiratory system

David Kaminsky (Author)

9781437705744, Elsevier Health Sciences

Hardback, published 10 February 2011

344 pages, 300 illustrations (300 in full color)
28 x 19 x 2.4 cm, 1.43 kg

"The book focuses on broad categories in pulmonology and augments substantially the presentation of the last edition. Illustrations and graphics are outstanding and make this the masterpiece that it is. For pulmonologists, the book achieves its likely intended goals well. I would personally consider it an essential resource."

— Joel Seidman, MD, William Beaumont Hospitals

4 Star - Doody's Rating, March 2013

- Coming Soon -

The long-awaited update of The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations is now becoming a reality! Master artist-physician, Carlos Machado, and other top medical illustrators have teamed-up with medical experts to make the classic Netter "green books" a reliable effective current-day reference. The first three volumes to be released will be:

The Reproductive System

The Endocrine System

The Respiratory System
