✦ Synopsis

Book Reviews organized have been held at Belgrade (1966), Leningrad (1970) and S5o Paulo (1974). This issue of the Journal of Atmospheric and Terreetrial Physics contains 12 review papers presented at the Silo Paul0 meeting. The topics covered &Lie: Energetics of the stratosphere, Neutral composition of the stratosphere and mesosphere, Ionization recombination cycle of the D-region, The D-region in disturbed conditions, Dynamics and structure of the quiet thermosphere, Optical observations of the thermosphere, Energy deposition in the thermosphere caused by the solar wind. Aurora1 zone electrodynamics deduced from incoherentscatter observations, Infrasonic wave generation by aurorae, Middle and low latitude effects of aurora1 disturbances from incoherent-scatter, Global propagation of atmospheric waves, F-region storms and Thermospheric circulation. Each of the authors is a recognized authority in the field and this collected volume of up-to-date reviews including the relevant bibliography is a worthy record of the third international S.T.P. symposium.
