Pulmonologist Michael Stephen takes us on a journey to shed original and much-needed light on our neglected and extraordinary lungs. He relates the history of oxygen on Earth and the evolutionary origins of breathing, and explores the healing power of breath and its spiritual potential. He explains in lay terms the links our lungs have with our immune system and with society at large. And he offers illuminating chronicles of pulmonary research and discovery and poignant human stories of resilience and recovery.
