They go even further in correlating bronchoscopic find­ ings with the function of the lung. Treated in this way, the image comes alive. Anyone who has come to know DE KOCK as a brilliant clini­ cian, or who has worked with him in the lung function labo­ ratory - he has made important contributions in this field also­ would have expected him to produce a monograph of this calibre. Now we have such a book. It contains the selected results of many years' solid work. Due attention is, of course, also accorded the merits of the various bronchoscopic techniques which provide the essential background to satisfactory results.
