ence, that any translation of a book several years old would be out of date on a number of points. The use of radar and space-probe magnetometers, the calculation of collisional excitation parameters for coronal ions, the introduction of di-electronic recombination into ionization theory and the development of the theory of optical line polarization were all unavailable at the time the book was written. As a consequence, some of the computations and a few of tho concepts are now obsolotc. Most of the material in the book is still valid, however.
The basic picture of tho corona remains unchanged, and although some of the parameters in the computations may be altered, the methods of attack continue to be of fundamental importance to the science.

theory. After giving the description of (S), the Eilenbcrg-Blakers homology groups are introduced. Then the homotopy addition theorem and the Hurewicz isomorphism theorem are proved by intermediating the Eilenberg-Blakers groups. The second half of this chapter concerns homotopical properties of CW-
Traditional as well as new techniques of catalytic research are described in the eleven chapters comprising this new text. The order of emphasis is apparatus, general concepts, and specific applications of each technique to catalysis. The contents are of variable quality ranging from acceptable to e
