T Peter R. Griffiths received his bachelor's and doctoral degrees from Oxford Univer sity, where he used the two early far-IR in terferometers shown in Figure 1 of this ar ticle. As part of his postdoctoral research at the University of Maryland, he worked with the Block Engineering Model 196 in terferometer (see Figure 3). He then joined the development team for the Digilab FTS-14 as a product specialist. Since 1972 he has been a member of the chemis try faculties of Ohio University, the Uni versity of California-Riverside, and most recently the University of Idaho, where he is chairman of the department of chemis try. His primary research interests lie in the field of molecular spectroscopy, and he has published more than 140 research pa pers, 23 book chapters, and three books on various aspects of FT-IR spectrometry.
his semi-technical volume, written specifically for non-scientists, is mustreading for anyone concerned about health and nutrition. With scientific facts to support the statements made about the known health benefits of fiber. Dr. Ory offers an interesting, sometimes humorous, approach that will appeal to the general reader. Although not intended to be the final word on dietary fiber (research goes on continually), the book is intended to quell ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ rumors about dietary fiber and to inform ^ ^ ^ ^ * ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ · those who don't understand enough about fiber's benefits and limitations. The author also offers some of his own recipes for simple and tasty highfiber foods, including Bread Pudding, New Orleans Style Red Beans, and Eggplant Lasagna. Contents: · Fibermania and How It Began · What Is Fiber and Where Do We Find It? • Fiber and Metabolism vs. Fat and Cholesterol · Can Fiber Fight Fat? · Fiber and the Big "C"-Constipation! · Can Fiber Cure Cancer. Diabetes, or Other Diseases? · Fiber and Min eral Nutrition · Is Fiber an Essential Nutrient? · Breakfast Cereals: The Battle of the Brans • Fiber in Fruits and Vegetables · Can Fiber Be Good for You and Still Taste Good?
