Textbook of BACTERIOLOGY Principles of MICROBIOLOGYBy JOSEPH M. DOUGHERTY, A.B., M.A.,Ph.D., Formerly Dean of the School of Scienceand Professor of Bacteriology, Villanova Univer-sity; Fellow of the American Association for theAdvancement of Science; and ANTHONY J. LAMI-BERTI, B.S., M.S., Instructor in Bacteriology andParasitology, Temple University School of Medi-cine.

Third Edition. 598 pages, 190 illustrations. Price,$8.25.

The importance of the science of bacteriology ineveryday life and the requirements of many avoca-tions make the acquisition of the principles of bac-teriology a distinct asset for the college graduate.This text aims to secure the interest of the large num-ber of students who are required to study bac-teriology.This new 1954 edition has been completely revisedand the number of chapters increased. Both the textmatter and the illustrations have been increased byapproximately 36% over the previous edition.

New chapters have been added on: The Growth andDeath of Bacteria; the Bacteriology of Air and Soil;Normal Bacterial Flora of the Body; the Lactobacillusand Listeria Group; and Miscellaneous Bacteria. Theoriginal chapter on the colon-typhoid-dysenterygroup has been completely rewritten into four newchapters. The chapters on classification, morphology,chemistry, and metabolism of bacteria and thechapters on immunology and the viruses have beenrewritten and brought up to date.

The footnote bibliographies have been removed andhistorically significant literature and symposia ap-pertaining to the subject material covered has beenplaced at the end of each chapter. A number ofphotomicrographs and other illustrative materialhave been added in the new edition. Since the under-graduate student is not primarily concerned withtherapy, the authors have eliminated the chemo-therapy section in their discussion of the variousinfections.

By CHARLES F. CARTER, B.S., M.D., Director,Carter's Clinical Laboratory, Dallas, Texas; andALICE L. SMITH, A.B.M.D., Assistant in Pathol-ogy, Instructor in Microbiology and Pathology,Parkland Hospital, School of Nursing, Dallas,Texas.

Second Edition. 604 pages, 177 illustrations. Price,$5.00.

This book presents a brief general survey of the prin-ciples of microbiology with simple descriptions ofthe most important disease-producing microbes anda discussion of the reaction of the animal body tocontact with them. Also it points out the activities ofmicrobes, which in truth are of greater importanceto man than the disease which they bring about. Bythis is meant the part that microbes play in the proc-esses of nature and in industry and the disease ofplants which they cause.

In this revision all chapters have been carefullystudied. Where necessary, old material has been de-leted and new material required to bring the volumeup to date has been added. The general outline ofthe book remains the same as that of the first editionwith the exception of an introductory chapter on theHistory of Microbiology. Included in this chapter arethe "nilestones" found at the end of the previousedition. Comparatively new developments which oc-cupy the thought of microbiologists, such as thetherapeutic use of gamma globulin, the activation oflatent infections by the antibiotic drugs, the moderncontrol of leprosy, and the more modern methods ofdisinfection and sterilization, have been included inthis edition.

The section of sulfonamide compounds and anti-biotics has been rewritten and enlarged. In all cases,so far as possible, the action of the sulfonamidecompounds and antibiotics on each disease-producingagent is given. Little mention is made of therapeuticagents which were widely used only a few decadesago but which are now not commercially available.The nomenclature conforms to that given in thesixth edition of Bergey's Manual of DeterminativeBacteriology.

A symposium volume of the American Association for theAdvancement of Science

The four general subjects of this symposium offer an exciting array ofinteresting developments. The treatment of special phases of the topics by aneminent group of authors will appeal to both theoretical and experimentalphysicists.

The field of elementary particles has brought forth a vast amount of ob-servational data but no unifying theory. The other three fields covered bythis book rest on well understood foundations. The problem is to find experi-mental evidence corresponding to the theoretical predictions. The materialincluded here is pertinent to this problem.

Price $4.25. AAAS members' prepaid order price $3.75A symposium volume of the American Association for the

Advancement of ScienceThe aim of this volume is to give a cross section of recent progress in the

field of monomolecular layers-on water surfaces, solid surfaces, and oil-waterinterfaces. The papers supply fundamental data for problems in lubricationand detergency, as well as for questions of biochemical concern such as thedetermination of molecular weights of proteins.

The variety and scope of the volume suggest that two-dimensional chem-istry should not be regarded as an isolated specialty, but that its methods andconcepts impinge on physical and colloid chemistry, on organic and biochem-istry; they contribute to analytical chemistry and to chemical engineering andtechnology.

The participants comprise some of the pioneer research workers in thisfield of chemistry. The papers review the work of others and re-port the con-tributions of the authors.
