LYMPHOLOGY. By J. M. E. Schoffeniels, Base1 und Verlag, 255 pages.
These proceedings of a symposium on lymphology held in Charleroi, Belgium, on July 11 to 13, 1966, should interest those who did not attend and those who do not follow the literature on lymphatics closely. As with most symposia these days, several papers are presented, each followed by a discussion. The reader will find the discussion more interesting than the papers, especially those discussions in which members of the group seem to question the data and conclusions presented by the respective speakers. A total of 17 papers are presented and the subjects discussed vary a great deal. The session and the published report follow the well-established procedure of the well-known Ciba Symposia. This book should be of value to anyone studying the lymphatics. VASCULAR HISTOCHEXISTRY. Chicago, 1967, Year Book pages. Price $22.50.
By C. W. M. Adams, Medical Publishers, 448
Professor Adams, a pathologist at Guy’s Hospital Medical School in London, has written a rather unusual and much-needed book. Histopathology of blood vessels has certainly been neglected in the past. This book reveals important additional information that can be derived from histopathology. Although the book would be of interest to pathologists primarily, it should interest all clinicians, especially those studying and managing vascular diseases. The book is well written and well illustrated, and the bibliography is quite extensive. This monograph is highly recommended to pathologists, physicians, and investigators engaged in the study and treatment of vascular diseases.

book by Doctor Abramson is well written and well illustrated. The problems discussed are among the most important in clinical medicine. Doctor Abramson has devoted most of his attention to the peripheral circulation and his own contributions have been important. This book presents the methods used in measurement of blood flow. Both the simple and more complex ones are discussed. Each chapter has a good bibliography. This is a good book which is recommended to all clinicians who are interested in peripheral vascular disease. It should be of particular value to those who treat peripheral vascular disease and those interested in the functions of diseased vessels.
monograph consists of the proceedings of the sixteenth Hahnemann Symposium held in Philadelphia. There were many contributors and many phases of the problem of atherosclerosis were discussed. Among the contributors were pathologists, epidemiologists, biochemists, physiologists, cardiologists, and surgeons. Those who follow the literature on atherosclerosis fairly well will find little if anything new. This monograph, which conforms to the standards of the previous ones, serves as a single source and review of data on the subject. The bibliographies are good and the papers well written and illustrated.
book is a self-study presentation on clinical problems in acid-base balance. The authors describe various chemical, biochemical, physiological, and clinical aspects of acid-base balance that should interest the clinician. The material is in the form of preliminary fundamental statements followed by questions. The reader studies the statements, answers the questions, and then uncovers the answers to check on himself. The book is well organized and thoughtfully presented to self-educate the reader. Simple, clear, and useful diagrams and illustrations are presented. Anyone who studies this book carefully, especially if he understands the reasons for the disturbances in acid-base balance in the clinical states discussed, will have profited a great deal from his effort and so will his patients. The appendix includes methods of analysis and useful nomograms which are welcome features of the book.
