From the reviews:
“Principles and Practice of Anesthesia for Thoracic Surgery will become the reference textbook of choice for thoracic anesthesia. … This is the most comprehensive text to date on noncardiac thoracic anesthesia. … The information is clearly readable and useful for early learners. … a useful resource and starting point for individuals preparing presentations on topics pertaining to thoracic anesthesia. … this is an excellent textbook, and a copy should find its way into every department of anesthesia, academic or community, involved with thoracic surgery.” (Calvin Thompson, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, Vol. 60, 2013)
“This book sets out to be a comprehensive and up-to-date reference textbook suitable for all grades of practitioners in thoracic anesthesia. … This book is generally excellent with numerous high-quality bronchoscopy images and will become the standard international large reference textbook. … All thoracic surgical centres should have a copy in their libraries. Many senior thoracic anaesthetists and fellows will want to own their own copies.” (J. H. Mackay and S. J. Gray, British Journal of Anaesthesia, Vol. 110 (5), 2013)

Slinger and colleagues have added significant value ... by including explanations of surgical technique in common, uncommon, and complex pulmonary procedures. ... Chapters on anesthesia for pediatric thoracic surgery, anesthetic management of thoracic trauma, transesophageal echocardiography applications during thoracic surgery ... establish this text as the most current and comprehensive work available. ... The book is ... an invaluable resource ... .” (Joseph P. Mathew, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 307 (4), January, 2012)
