Check basics of anesthesia by stoelting. It is a great introduction. More readable than some other books. Morgan and Mikhail (may have mispelled last name) is a great book, but you may not understand much of what is in it until you really get into anesthesia--and its really expensive. There is another called secrets of anesthesia, which is very nicely written and would be easier to understand for non anesthesia people. Look on amazon at a few of these books, and they will show alot of the other books purchased at the same time as these. You can ask a bookstore to order them for you, and flip through them to see if it would be good for you. I think the basics by stoelting would be the best starter, and the other books by stoelting are good too but much more advanced.

Any book that teaches you pathophysiology would be great. You will really go in depth with those, at the cellular level.
