BOOKS of the field and is otherwise informa tive. Chapters 5 and 6 are both excellent reviews on the use of two-dimensional electrophoresis for the separation of plant proteins and in protein analysis in cancer research. Both of these re views are comprehensive and provide methodological considerations of the techniques as they are best practiced in the laboratory. Chapter 7 on the two-dimensional electrophoresis of nonhistone chromo somal proteins deals with a less famil iar subject in general electrophoretic literature, but less than 5% of the work consists of literature published in the last two years. The chapter gives a good overview of fractionation procedures and provides the reader with a broad base of information. This book will be of interest to both theoreticians and practitioners of sin gle and multidimensional electropho resis in the fields of protein separation.
