	Book lung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A book lung is a rudimentary type of lung found in arachnids, such as scorpions and spiders, and in horseshoe crabs.
		They are not evolutionarily related to mammalian lungs.
		Their name describes their structure, as they are "folded" like a book.

	Encyclopedia: Lung
		The lungs of mammals have a spongy texture and are honeycombed with epithelium having a much larger surface area in total than the outer surface area of the lung itself.
		The inner layer of the sac (visceral pleura) adheres tightly to the lungs and the outer layer (parietal pleura) is attached to the wall of the chest cavity.
		The lungs attach to the heart and trachea through structures that are called the "roots of the lungs." The roots of the lungs are the bronchi, pulmonary vessels, bronchial vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves.

		Lung cancer is a huge problem because it is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women (Microsoft, “Lung Cancer”).
		Small cell lung cancer is limited to a section of the chest known as the hemithorax and regional lymph nodes (World Book, “Lung Cancer”).
		Treatment depends on the type of lung cancer, the size of the tumor, the location of the tumor, the stage of illness, the age of the patient, and the overall health of the patient (Microsoft, “Lung Cancer).

		Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths in women and men in North America.
		This is why at the time of diagnosis of lung cancer 70% of patients have already metastases(31% regional and 39% distant metastases) (Ref. 1 and 2).
		Because of this lung cancer is diagnosed too late, usually at the point when a chronic cough develops, which does not respond to any medication.

	Re: How do spiders breathe?
		In some spiders both pairs are book lungs, in a few both are tracheae, but in most cases the anterior pair are book lungs and the posterior pair are tracheae.
		Book lungs consist of stacks of between 10 and 80 flattened hollow discs.
		Since the spider's heart is continually pumping deoxygenated haemolymph through the book lungs, the concentration of oxygen in the air in the book lungs is always higher than in the haemolymph, and therefore oxygen will move from the air into the haemolymph down an oxygen gradient.

		Lung cancer is basically a two step process, activation of growth oncogenes, and deactivation of recessive tumor suppressor genes.
		Lung cancer usually develops in a single spot but if lymph nodes are involved, it may spread to other parts of the body.
		Books like this are intended to provide a general overview, and you need to listen to your physician's advice regarding specific types of treatment, since statements in books and articles can be misinterpreted by patients unaware of subtle difference, for example, differences between non-small cell and small cell.

	The Wallet of Kai Lung (Ernest Bramah) - book review
		Ernest Bramah's Kai Lung is a storyteller in an imagined China, telling tales of earnest examination candidates, corrupt mandarins, beautiful maidens, alchemical potions, grasping merchants, and assorted other stereotypes from the Western imagination of China.
		Bramah makes no attempt to depict any kind of historical reality, but uses the setting to allow his invention and fantasy free reign, to free himself from the confines of the mundane.
		The Kai Lung stories must surely have been an influence, even if an indirect one, on modern comic writers such as Barry Hughart and Terry Pratchett, and should appeal to their fans.
