✦ Synopsis
Part 2, 130 pages, is a report of a conference held at Princeton, N. J., in November, 1958, with some 40 participants. Anatomical, embryological, physiological, biochemical, and clinical aspects are all discussed in detail. The report, edited by ViUee, is well-organized, well-balanced and easy to read. It contains a wealth of facts, opinions, and theories which are too extensive to review.
Part 3 contains a survey of the literature from 1946 to 1958 by Dwain D. and JoAnne S. Hagerman and Claude Villee. It covers 124 pages and an estimated 2,000 individual items. They are classified according to disciplines and species in a way that makes finding a particular subject quite easy.
Part 4 is an unusual compilation of the names of 80 American and 19 foreign investigators with their associated investigators, the address of their laboratory, and a brief statement of the problems under investigation.
The index contains important subject references and the names of authors including those in the survey of the literature.
This book is a model of its kind and the Editor, Committee, and Authors deserve high praise.
