"I have always considered Dr Cotes' book the most authoritativebook published on lung function. It is also the most comprehensive. I strongly support a sixth edition.„
Dr Robert Crapo, Pulmonary Division, LDS Hospital, Salt LakeCity, USA
“I am delighted as chairman of the ARTP to consider the proposalfor a sixth edition of John Cotes' book. I think without exceptionevery lung function laboratory will have an earlier copy of thebook (indeed I am the proud owner of the first edition myself!). Ifelt that the fifth edition was a marked improvement on earlierversions, particularly with respect to the layout, as well as theupdated content. To update the content further and to involve moreauthors, but maintaining John's direction, will product a valuableupdate to the book.
„I hope my comment will help you to reach a positive decision... Ithink I can fairly speak on behalf of staff in lung functiondepartments the length and breadth of the country - that a sixthedition of Cotes would be gratefully received.“
Dr Brendan Cooper, Clinical Respiratory Scientist, NottinghamCity Hospital
„The proposed new edition will be a revitalised version of afamiliar and respected text... The primary author is obviously stillenthusiastic and energetic enough to complete the project but hassensibly taken on collaborators to refresh the style and widen theperspective... The book is likely to have the advantage over itscompetitors in terms of existing stature. Also it does provide arole as a reference text for laboratories and departments.“
