Book Description:

In biology, few organs have been as elusive as the lung-air sac system
of birds. Considerable progress has recently been made to fill the gaps
in the knowledge. While summarizing and building on earlier
observations and ideas, this book provides cutting-edge details on the
development, structure, function, and the evolutionary design of the
avian respiratory system. Outlining the mechanisms and principles
through which biological complexity and functional novelty have been
crafted in a unique gas exchanger, this account will provoke further
inquiries on the many still uncertain issues. The specific goal here
was to highlight the uniqueness of the design of the avian respiratory
system and the factors that obligated it.
