Abstract
How do you describe a giant? As a person of abnormally great stature; above the usual size; or someone with much greater powers than the average person? Abraham Guz (‘Abe’) was not a tall man, but he was a scientific giant with an absolute desire to understand and find the scientific truth. This drive led him to make many original contributions in respiratory and cardiovascular physiology. Indeed, a simple literature search produces over 250 peer reviewed papers spanning some 50 years, the top 25 of which have been quoted over 2500 times. Moreover, most of his outstanding work was published in The Journal of Physiology, and we received it with gratitude because it was always insightful and ahead of its time. Many will argue that counting citations is a poor measure of scientific endeavour and I suspect Abe himself would certainly agree. However, this approach did provide us with a place to start when faced with the task of bringing together Abe's huge and varied scientific contributions.
