Texts to supplement physiology lectures:

West, John B. Pulmonary Physiology and Pathophysiology: An Integrated, Case-Based Approach. 1st ed. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Publishers, 15 Jan. 2001. (Paperback)
Widely used by medical students. Not much depth on neurophysiology of breathing, but good for gas exchange etc.

Richardson, Daniel R., David C. Randall, and Dexter F. Speck. Cardiopulmonary System. 15 Jan., 1998. (Paperback) - 353 pages.
This book not known to me, but Dexter Speck is a good respiratory neurophysiologist.

Levitzky, Michael G. Pulmonary Physiology. 5th ed. McGraw-Hill Professional Publishing, 1999 - 320 pages.
I'm told by a colleague this is a good book.

Vander, Arthur, James Sherman, and Dorothy Lucian. Human Physiology: The Mechanisms of Body Function, 8th ed. McGraw-Hill Higher Education, 2000 - 864 pages.
This is a readable and reliable text covering all systems -- We have used it for years in my department.
