Limitation of space dictates that I omit several topics from this review; among these are pulmonary pathophysiology and pulmonary function testing; cell respiration; pharmacology of respiration; adaptation to long term environmental changes; and comparative physiology, either of inter species variation or of variation within the individual related to age and stage of development. These topics are included in a longer bibliography. 2 BOOKS, REVIEWS, CONFERENCESRespiration physiologists now have their own, eponymously titled jour nal (l).It has been a good year for books: Aviado's account of the pulmonary circulation (2) , that must for a long time be the definitive work in this field; Keilin's History of Cell Respiration and Cytochrome (3), completed for the press by his daughter after his death; Volume II of Section 3 (Res piration) of the American Physiological Society's Handbook of Physiology (4); Farhi's literarily and s�ientifically admirable translation into English of Dejour's chapter in Volume III of the French textbook Physiologie (C.Kayser, Ed.), now published as the book Respiration (5) ; a collection of re views (6) of recent progress in their fields, by eight active research work ers; an account of the principles, practice, and interpretation of cl inical pulmonary function tests (7); a simple exposition and discussion of the concept of inhomogeneity of distribution of ventilation and blood flow (8); a somewhat sketchy account of the comparative anatomy, histology, and physiology of respiration throughout the animal kingdom (9) ; and a gener
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
