four major sections. Section one deals with gases and vapors, featuring data on self-indicating devices, inorganic support systems, and the collection of contaminant for laboratory analysis. The second section on aerosols (dusts, mists, and fumes) includes studies of impinger collection, filter collection, and respirable fraction cascade collectors. Section three deals with batterypowered air samplers, providing information on specifications, power sources, piston pumps, diaphragm pumps, rotary pumps, and the personnel monitor. The fourth section features data on quality control for sampling and laboratory analysis, examining determinate error, indeterminate error, quality control programs, and sampling criteria. Current references, a preferred reading list, and author and subject indices are included. A Chemist's Guide to Regulatory Drug Analysis. Daniel Banes, vi + 133 pages.

This booklet consists of three sections. Part I ("in which we trace the legal origins of regulatory drug analysis, and delineate its purposes, functions, and responsiblities") is entitled "A Guide to Drug Control Laws and Regulations;" Part II ("in which we explore the scientific documents and literature resources available to regulatory drug analysis"), "A Guide to the Literature of Regulatory Drug Analysis;" and Part III ("in which we study the constructional features of methods suitable for, and useful in, regulatory drug analysis"), "A Guide to the Structure of Regulatory Drug Analytical Methods." Modern Quantitative Analysis Experiments for Non-Chemistry Majors. George G. Guilbault. ix + 243 pages. Marcel Dekker, Inc., 305 E. 45th St., New York, N.Y. 10017. 1974. Paperbound. $7.75
This manual is designed especially for those students in the medical fields. Emphasis is placed, not on classical techniques, but on experiments relevant to the practices of researchers in clinical chemistry and the biomedical areas. Experiments are included in the areas of titrimetry (acid-base, redox, and complexometric), electrochemistry (potentiometry, amperome-

The proceedings of the International Conference on Ion Beam Surface Layer Analysis held June 18-20, 1973, in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., are presented. Although the emphasis of the conference was on the technical aspects of the use of energetic ion beams, invited talks were given on complementary analytical techniques such as secondary ion mass spectrometry, Auger electron spectrometry, ion-beam induced photons, and lowenergy ion back-scattering. The Proceedings were originally published in the journal, Thin Solid Films.
