For those with a clinical interest in hearing, here is a new collection that is precise and up-to-date. The complexities of evaluation, from basic utilization of the clinical audiometer through to special tests of cortical function, are well explained and documented. Many authors have made a special attempt to be lively and interesting so that, combined with good editing, the reading is not like that of a "textbook." Rosenberg's chapter on the "Case History," for instance, is a model of brevity, wit, and content. The book is divided into eight sections, each dealing with a different phase of the audiologist's task. Section I deals with the definition of Clinical Audiology, the problems of equipment calibration and the "Otologic Correlates of Audiology." Section II has six chapters devoted to the facets of "Basic Hearing Evaluation." Sections III, IV, and V explore the diagnostic evaluations for cochlear, retrocochlear, central and "nonorganic" hearing
