London : Oxford University Press. pp. 148 +xii, 81 illustrations. Price 10s. 6d. net. This book is neither more nor less than its title claims and is subject both to the advantages and limitations of this class of textbook. In an attempt to encompass the whole subject of pulmonary tuberculosis in so small a space it is unavoidable that only fundamental points can receive more than cursory treatment, and many important points must be omitted or mentioned only in a few words. The style in which the book is written is inclined to be rather dogmatic, but this is perhaps a good thing as it renders the information more easily acquired and more readily remembered. The matters dealt with have special appeal to the student taking his final examinations or the busy general practitioner. Perhaps the best part of the book is that devoted to treatment, with the exception that in the section on B.C.G. the reference made to the Liibeck tragedy takes no account of the explanation offered by Professor Gudrin himself. The description of the operation of artificial pneumothorax induction will interest British readers as it differs in some respects from the technique commonly used in this country. The parts played by therapeutic rest under Sanatorium condkions, and the various surgical measures in common use, are clearly and fairly stated. Thirty-eight out of the one hundred and forty-eight pages are occupied by diagrams and reproductions of skiagrams of an excellence rarely found in textbooks. The cases themselves are well chosen to illustrate the points the author wishes to make, and the actual printing of them is of a high standard. The book is one which can be recommended to any reader who wishes to obtain a concise impression of an American view of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Model Building Byelaws Illustrated: By G. Eric Mitchell, M.INST.M.&CY.E., A.R.I.B.A., M.R.~AN.I. 1939. London: B. T. Batsford. pp. 160+xii, Super Royal 8vo. Price 10s. 6d. net. This is an excellent book in which the revised Model Byelaws, Series IV, Buildings, are set out, explained, and illustrated by diagrams showing what, in the opinion of the author, is the intention and meaning of the various clauses. A model specification for a typical dwelling house framed to incorporate the requirements of the byelaws is appended. The laborious task undertaken by the author has been thoroughly well done. The book can be recommended to all to whom the administration of building byelaws is in any way entrusted. CAMBERWELL RESEARCH LABORATORIES.--Dr. Guy Bousfield (Director) states that the bacteriological and pathological work of the laboratories will continue in their present quarters, 134, Denmark Hill, London, S.E.5, until further notice.
