Product Description
This book has been created for patients who have decided to make education and research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it also gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to sleep apnea (also central sleep apnea; nocturnal upper airway occlusion; obstructive sleep apnea; Ondine's curse; pediatric obstructive sleep apnea; Pickwickian syndrome), from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on sleep apnea. Given patients' increasing sophistication in using the Internet, abundant references to reliable Internet-based resources are provided throughout this sourcebook. Where possible, guidance is provided on how to obtain free-of-charge, primary research results as well as more detailed information via the Internet. E-book and electronic versions of this sourcebook are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). Hard-copy users of this sourcebook can type cited Web addresses directly into their browsers to obtain access to the corresponding sites. In addition to extensive references accessible via the Internet, chapters include glossaries of technical or uncommon terms.

Kept me up all night!, 2008-04-14
What a page turner! The author's breathless prose and the plot's building pressure kept me gasping for more. I can't wait to read Philip M Parker's other books.
Very up to date, cutting edge book!, 2006-07-10
This is useful background reading for all patients and docs who have or work with sleep apnea. For patients, it is helpful understanding cases that are either mild or severe. The advanced portion of the book is well written, easy to understand, and very up to date. Very useful!
Very helpful for new patients, 2003-05-08
This book definitely serves as a great tool for new patients. It not only points to the right sources of information on this disease, but also helps in finding contacts with people suffering with this disease (support groups, etc).
Maybe good for new patients?, 2002-12-31
I might have found this book to be a useful reference, had sleep apnea been new to me. Having advanced questions, I felt disappointed. I failed to note that the author has written Official Sourcebooks about a remarkable variety of disorders. I would prefer a book by a physician. The reader might do as well with a web search.
