Book notices ally thousands of exercise tests on normal subjects and patients, especially humbling.The book also highlights how far respiratory physiologists are willing to risk their lives and personal comfort in the interest of science.In particular, a new species has been named-the CARP (completely apnoeic respiratory physiologist).The book needs a chapter that brings together all the ideas into a general overview.The symposium seems to have highlighted not only how far we have advanced in our understanding of breathlessness, but also how far we were away from the answer 25 years ago.This book is certainly not for the casual reader, and does not make easy bedtime reading.However, for anybody who is intending to work in respiratory failure, respiratory muscles, or measurement of sensations and functional capacity in breathless patients, it is essential reading and an excellent source of references.All in all, this book makes a fitting tribute to the illustrious career of Moran Campbell.
