Written and edited by leading research scientists under the sponsorship of the Glycerine Producers' Association of America, this valuable new monograph brings you for trie first time complete information on the sources, recovery, refining and uses of glycerol. All of t h e important recent developments in the field—synthetic glycerol, puri fication b y ion exchange, and many others—together with latest designs in equip ment, are fully discussed. Especially useful to chemists, purchasing agents and executives is the complete chapter on standards and specifications. This chapter, as well as those on analysis, physical and chemical properties, offers latest avail able data in easy-to-read tabular form. The uses of glycerine, ever increasing both in number and in domestic and indus trial importance, are fully described to point out the great variety of present-day applications. The chapters on physiological and microbiological uses were written b y men working directly in these fields and reflect not only the most recent techniques and equipment, but also offer full proof of the nutritional vaiue of glycerine. As the only complete, up-to-date book available on its subject, Miner and Dalton's monograph will prove indispensable not only to all glycerol producers and refiners, b u t t o research chemists and executives in the many widespread fields wherein glycerine plays its vitally important role. 1 9 5 3 r 5 0 0 p a g e s , $12.00

A C o m p a r a t i v e S u r v e y of Their B e h a v i o r W i t h Special R e f e r e n c e to W o o l by ERNEST R. KASWELL, Associate Research Director, Fabric Research Laboratories, Inc., Boston, Mass.
Based directlv on the research results of over 400 investigators, this cagerly-awaited book is the first to evaluate the engineering, physical and chemical behavior of textile fibers, yarns and fabrics, both natural and synthetic. •w The first part of the book deals with the intrinsic properties of the fibers themselves. In the second section, the relationsriips of these properties to fundamental fabric requirements are explained in unusual detail. All fibers, including such recent synthetics as Dacron, Vicara, X-51, are fully discussed. Written primarily for textile chemists, physics and engineers, this book will serve as an ideal reference source for all scientifically trained personnel in textile research, development, service, production or man agement. 1 9 5 3 ^ 4 5 0 p a g e S f o b o u t $io.OO
This detailed treatise prepared by various members of the staff" of Union Carbide and Carbon Corp. presents the first complete account of the chemistry, manufacture and properties of these industrially im portant substances. No pains have been spared to make this volume accurate and authoritative down to the last detail. Chapters are de voted to the chemistry, the numerous industrial uses, and the many valuable properties of the glycols, and it is certain that all industries in which these materials play a part will find this book of the greatest value and practical use. The volume is extremely well documented and contains many tables of data, charts and illustrations. ACS Monograph, 1952, 390 pages, $12.00
