troscopy are among the methods examined. Of the four reviews presented in this second volume of a continuing series, two are concerned with the field of infrared spectroscopy, one with various spectroscopic studies that can be used in investigations dealing with the hydrogen bond, and one with an important type of analysis in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The reviews presented coT-er a broad range of research, so that all spectroscopists may find information useful in the particular spectroscopic application and studies in which they are actively engaged. The book also includes both an author and a subject index. Electrophoresis-Technical Applications, A Bibliography of Abstracts. B. J. Haywood. vii 440 pages.

This book includes two sections: abstracts of current literature (19651969) and abstracts for background reference. The primary purpose of the book is to present a selective survey of the literature which describes electrophoretic techniques. An effort was made to present this survey in a form useful t o persons actually performing electrophoretic separations. Enough experimental detail is included t o enable the reader t o determine whether the technique described fits his purposes. Journal review articles are included in the “Books, Reviews, and Symposia” section. Poison Detection In Human Organs, 2nd 280 pages. ed.

This book is a modern authoritative and practical work unique in toxicological literature. Whether the clinical chemist is asked to screen for poisoning or t o check for the presence of a particular poison, he will be able to find tests described that are suitable for both the larger and smaller laboratories. This book was designed for anyone concerned with the problems of toxicology. It gives experimental details of the analyses for all common poisons and drugs. rlnalyses of blood and urine samples from the living patient, problems of exhumed and decomposed bodies, and the analysis in abortions and of examinations of poisoned food are described in great detail. -4 careful selection of literature references has been maintained, providing up-to-date information for those who wish t o delve deeper into

the #subject of poison detection. This book contains both a name index and a subject index. Fluorine Chemistry Reviews, Vol. 3. Paul Tarrant, Editor. vi 154 pages. Marcel Dekker, Inc., 95 Madison Ave., New York, N. Y. 10016. 1969. $12.50

This book is volume three of an international publication concerned with the theoretical and practical aspects of fluorine chemistry. The aim of this book is to provide complete coverage of current research in this rapidly expanding field of fluorine chemistry. These papers cover historical background and recent developments, and present previously unpublished studies from research still in progress. The four major areas covered in this volume are fluorine compounds in anesthesiology; reactions of fluoro-olefins with electrophilic reagents; fluoroalicyclic derivatives of metals and metalloids; and phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony pentafluorophenyl compounds. The authors are internationally known fluorine chemists who are making contributions t o their special fields. This book will be a valuable asset to all researchers interested in the fast-growing field of fluorine chemistry. This volume contains both an author index and a subject index. Fifth International Symposium on Chromatography and Electrophoresis. 594 pages. Ann Arbor-Humphrey Science Publishers, Inc., Drawer 1425, Ann Arbor, Mich. 48106. 1969. $21.50.

This book contains the lectures and scientific papers presented a t the Fifth International Symposium on Chromatography and Electrophoresis organized by the Belgian Pharmaceutical Science Society.

When IS a “Mettler” not a balance? when it’s a Mettler thermal instrument for.. . ...conducting TGAIDTAIDTC o n one sample at the same time. The Mettler Thermoanalyzer 2 allows you to directly compare these test data because test conditions are truly identical. I t is an invaluable research tool which allows you to work w i t h multigram as well as milligram samples. The capacityiweighing sensitivity ratio of the Thermoanalyzer 2 i s the highest available anywhere.

The h o t stage will automatically give you precisely controlled temperature from below room to 30OoC. Temperatures at which significant thermal events occur are displayed on the F p - 2 ’ ~digital readout panel.
