The original text of Peter Stewart's classic book, How to Understand Acid-Base:
A Quantitative Acid-Base Primer for Biology and Medicine, is available without charge.
In addition, the second edition of the book, entitled Stewart's Textbook of Acid-Base
(John A. Kellum and Paul W.G. Elbers, editors, 2009), is now available for purchase at
http://www.acidbase.org/.
Portions of the second edition can also be previewed
free of charge on Google Books (

The second edition features Stewart's original text plus over 20 new chapters
that highlight advances in the field. The Figge-Fencl model is described in
Chapter 11 (pages 217 - 232, available on Google Books).
The book is highly recommended for those who truly
want to understand human acid-base physiology.
