A solid informational resource for students/families coping with asthma.  The information is detailed, well-organized and understandable.  It includes chapters that define asthma, discuss causes, diagnosis, treatments and prevention.  Illustrated with color diagrams, photos, microscopic enlargements, and drawings, the layout aids in making the information accessible.  I learned a lot.  Knowing how many children are affected by asthma, this book, or one like it, would be an important addition to any school library.
