✦ Synopsis
This is another excellent monograph published under the auspices of the Ciba Foundation. This foundation is well known to those in the chemical and biological sciences for the numerous and excellent symposia it presents annually at which internationally known scientists participate in presenting papers dealing not only with original research but also in presenting lucid reviews of the "State of the Science" in which they are participating. The proceedings of these symposia are published as monographs in their entirety, thus presenting not only the formal papers but also the usually lively discussions which take place following each presentation. These following discussions are often the more interesting part of the proceedings, which are usually omitted in monographs of most other symposia. Once again the high standards of excellence of this Ciba Foundation Symposium have been preserved, resulting in a publication that makes a substantial contribution to the literature available on the subject.
Gas Chromatography in Biology and Medicine is a very appropriate title because this is the area of scientific endeavor where the technique is put to the ultimate tests of sensitivity, specificity, and usefulness. The formal papers published herein were presented at a symposium of the same title held in London, England, February 1969.
The material covered is divided into four main sections. The
