REVIEWS
theoretical account of the ongtns of the polarization of fluorescence, and of the mformation regarding the excited molecule and its mteractlon wit11 Its surroundmgs, that can be gained from mcasurmg the polarization The book as a whole maintains an even balance hetwcen theory and appllcabon, and can be rccommendcd to all interested analysts, though the price will tend to discourage personal acquisltlon J P SIIMOX~ (Blrmmgham)
