by Bertrand L. llansen. 263 pages, diagrams, 6 X 9 in. Englewood Cliffs, N. J., Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1960. Price, $7.50 (trade) ; $5.65 (classroom). This practical guide provides a new and econonfical tool for management in measnring work throngh easy-to-use, reliable sampling techniques. A step-by-step explanation is offered on how to make a profitable factfinding sampling study from the initial planning stage to the last step of the follow-up. It also shows how modern management can solve many major problems presented by the current rising cost of iudirect labor and increasing replacement of people by machines. The reader is then taken through the various stages of the sampling process at an easy pace to meet the needs of undergraduates, advanced students and persons in the field. EXTRACTIVE AND PHYSICAL METALLURGYOF PLUTONIUMAND ITS ALLOYS,edited by W. D. Wilkinson. 314 page~, illustrations, 6 X 9 in. New York and London, Interscience Publishers, 1960. Price, $10.50. This volume represents the papers presented at a symposium held in San Francisco, Cal-

There are fourteen papers included in the book, plus a special introduction and annotated biblioggraphy by the editor. THEORY OF DETONATION,by la. B. Zeldovich and A. S. Kompaneets. 284 pages, diagrams, 6 X 9 in. New York and London, Academic Press, 1960. Price, $10.00. This book is the first systematic presentation of detonation theory based on papers completed at the Chemical Physics Institute. The papers give an explauation of the important effect of spin detonation, which is observed near the detonation threshold. Further, they have explained the nature and conditions of the change of combustion into detonation, and disclosed the extraordinary conditions under which a detonation is propagated in pipes with roughened walls, and they have explained the narrow limits of propagation of a detonation in smooth pipes.
