The Lung: Development, Aging and the Environment

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

The Lung: Development, Aging and the Environment, Third Edition provides an understanding of the multifaceted nature of lung development, aging and the environment influences of these processes. As an essential resource to respiratory, pulmonary and thoracic scientists and physicians, this book provides an interface between the normal and disease cluster of chapters, allowing for a natural complement. The interface between different lung diseases affecting the pediatric lung also adds a useful source for comparing how different lung diseases share key pathophysiological features. This same complementarity comes across in the logical line up of chapters dealing with the normal pediatric lung. New research, including cell-based strategies for infant lung function, epigenetics and prenatal environmental exposure (including wildfires) on lung development and function are some of the important additions to this edition of this reference work.

About

Kent Pinkerton MD is professor of pediatrics School of Medicine and director of the Center for Health and the Environment at the University of California Davis. His research focuses on the health effects of inhaled environmental air pollutants to alter respiratory cardiovascular and neurological structure and function. Special areas of interest include the interaction of gases and airborne particles to produce cellular and structural changes within site-specific regions and cells of the respiratory tract in both acute and chronic timeframes of exposure. Recent studies have focused on environmental and biological impacts of synthesized nanomaterials as well as the effects of environmental tobacco smoke and combustion particles on lung growth and development. He is associate director for the San Joaquin Aerosol Health Effects Research Center (SAHERC) to study airborne particles of the San Joaquin Valley. He is also the associate director for the Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety (WCAHS) to study the health effects of airborne particles in an agricultural setting. Richard Harding is a NHMRC Senior Principal Research Fellow and an Emeritus Professor with the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology at Monash University Australia. His research focuses on Respiratory Development and Programming. He is now semi-retired.
