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.
