present technology within the chemical and petroleum industries. It covers the selection of a suitable catalyst for a given process, commercial preparation of industrial catalysts, fixed bed catalyst systems, moving bed processes, the economics of catalyst use, operating problems in catalytic processing, and a look at future prospects. The authors are all experienced in the field and their contributions are well worthwhile. NUCLEAR METALLURGY(VoL. IV). A SYMPOSIUM ON URANIUMAND URANIUMDIOXIDE. 143 pages, illustrations, 8{t X II in. New York, AIME, 1957. Price: $5.00 to members; $7.00 to non-members (paper). This, the fourth volume on "Nuclear Metallurgy" issued by the Institute of Metals Division of the AIME, contains the sixteen papers presented at the fall meeting held in Chicago on November 6, 1957. The papers cover melting, casting, forging, rolling, coldworking, and weldlng of uranium, as well as the preparation and fabrication of uranium dioxide for fuel element use.
