New Books facilitate the understanding of the mechanisms involved. The advances to be expected in the near future are also discussed. The book contains a bibliography with 891 references that seem to be predominately to the Rus sian literature.
Newer Trace Elements in Nutrition. Walter Mertz and W. E. Cornatzer, Eds. xiii -f- 438 pages. Marcel Dekker, Inc., 95 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10016. 1971. $24.50
This volume presents the proceed ings of the International Symposium on Newer Trace Elements, held in Grand Forks, N.D., and jointly spon sored by the U.S. Department of Agri culture and the University of North Dakota Medical School. The first sec tion of the book provides background and introduction to the discussions of individual elements that follow. It deals with the history and philosophy of trace element research and with the mechanism by which the trace element interacts at the molecular level with the various components of metabolism. Subsequent chapters treat the elements chromium, selenium, vanadium, nickel, zinc, and tin in detail. The last part of the book deals with three promising developments in trace analysis in bio logical materials: emission spectros copy, gas-liquid chromatography, and spark-source spectrometry. There are numerous references on each topic. The text is "typed."

Inorganic Titrimetric Analysis: Contem porary Methods. Walter Wagner and Clarence J . Hull, xii + 225 pages. Marcel Dekker, Inc., 95 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10016. 1971. $13.50
This book is Vol 1 of "Treatise on Titrimetry," edited by J. Jordan. Its purpose is to provide the practicing chemist with a rapid, handy, up-to-date guide to modern titrimetric methods, giving sufficient information to deter mine whether a given method is suit able in terms of applicability, spe cificity, precision, and accuracy as well as the required reagents and instru mentation. Advantages and limita tions of various types of titrations are pointed out so that specific methods can be selected for specific problems. The chapters are arranged according to the sequence of elements in the periodic table. For each element and its inorganic compounds, the discus sion includes: a concise description of the methods available; a brief sur vey of applicable earlier and contem porary titrimetric methods; a short section on the recommended contem porary methods; and a selective bibliog raphy of post-1960 methods of titri metric analysis. The book also fea tures discussions on unusual develop ments such as redox titrimetry of the noble gas xenon and the determina tion of trans-uranium elements.
Optical Microscopy for the Materials Sciences. James H. Richardson, χ + 692 pages. Marcel Dekker, Inc., 95 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10016. 1971. $29.50
This book presents a comprehensive discussion of modern optical micros copy and photomicroscopy necessary to prepare and examine specimens of a broad range of materials. Methods for preparing specimens of material for optical microscopes that use trans mitted or incident light are described. Also included are extensive tables that give specific solutions for chemical and electrolytic polishing and etching of incident light specimens for a large number of materials. The techniques used in the qualitative and quantitative measurements of a specimen under microscopic examination are discussed. Other topics include: photomicrog raphy and photomacrography, labora tory safety, and microscope accessories. This volume should be practical both as a textbook and as a reference. The text appears "typed."
