✦ Synopsis
This collection is a compilation of the major contributions of Professor Horase S. Isbell in the area of carbohydrate chemistry. It is a historic, three-volume set that includes 188 research papers and review articles, and is a manifest of over sixty years of Dr. Isbell's distinguished career in carbohydrate chemistry. The Editors (Prof. Hassan S. El Khadem and Dr. Harriet L. Frush) are to be congratulated on the success of the immense task of collecting and assembling of a vast and diverse material, including careful preparation of the text for direct photoprinting. Now a few words about the editor Dr. Frush. Almost every piece of work and research paper that originated from Dr. Isbell's laboratory received Harriet's professional touch. The Carbohydrate Division owes her long-overdue recognition of her devoted and unselfish, life-long sevice to carbohydrate chemistry since 1930. Trained as an organic chemist, with a Ph.D. thesis on organic gold compounds under the famous Prof. M. H. Karasch, Dr. Isbell joined the carbohydrate group of the distinguished chemist Dr. Claude S. Hudson at the National Bureau of Standards. Soon, Dr. Isbell embraced a new field, and became a carbohydrate chemist for life. Being himself self-disciplined and dedicated, and a hard worker, Dr. Isbell set an example to his highly productive staff. A partial list of his coworkers and associates includes Drs.
