They have been well chosen and come from a variety of sources. They illustrate many aspects of the subject in helpful and relevant fashion..The lung sounds on the accompanying tape are of good quality. The foreword by Dr. McKusick is correct....in emphasizing the importance of understanding lung sounds.
