New York: Marcel Dekkar, Inc., 2000.

The authors, medical doctors, address the topic of good medicine, not diagnosis, pathogenesis, or treatment of asthma, rather about the social barriers to applying what they know about asthma and its impact on society: the social and economic burden.

Yeadon, Michael, and Zuzana Diamant. New and Exploratory Therapeutic Agents for Asthma. New York: Marcel Dekkar, 2000.

The authors write about understanding asthma and the agents that are currently used to treat it and to take part in activities to discover, test, and develop further treatments. This volume provides an up-to-date overview of exploratory antiasthma medication.
