Can you rec a book on respiratory therapy that explains disease processes?

I am a student and need help that my textbooks and teachers do not provide. Respiratory therapy is difficult to understand if you can't understand how disease processes work. Any help out there with a rec on a good book?

Clinical Manifestations and Assessment of Respiratory Disease. Written by Terry Des Jardins and George G. Burton. I used it in school and still skim through it every now and again.

Go to any good college used book store and ask for a recommendation.
