BARRETT, C. S., NEWKIRK, J. B., and MALLETT, G. R. (eds.), Advances in x-Ray Analysis, Vol. 12, Plenum, New York, 1969, 648 pages, $22.50--Volume 12 contains the proceedings of the 17th annual conference (1968) on applications of x-ray analysis, sponsored by the University of Denver. The forty papers included cover a broad spectrum of x-ray analysis. As usual, the quality of the work presented ranges from very good to excellent. The following sessions serve to illustrate the nature of the work presented: (1) crystallography and diffraction, (2) methods and applications, (3) strain analysis, (4) crystalline fine structure, (5) fluorescence and texture analysis, and (6) x-ray spectrochemical analysis. The volume is indexed. BRAIN, E. B., Techniques in Photomicrography, 2nd ed., Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh, 1969, 186 pages, 64s--Although written primarily for the biological field, the techniques and equipment described are also applicable to metal and ceramic systems. Concise, how-to-do-it chapters are included on photographic emulsions, exposure, filters, the optical microscope, cameras, processing, preparation of prints and transparencies, and preparation of solutions. An adequate bibliography and index are also included. Theory is avoided, but basic principles are not. DRAUGLIS, E., GRETZ, R. D., and JAFFEE, R. I. (eds.), Molecular Processes on Solid Surfaces, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1969, 651 pages, $37.50--This volume contains the proceedings of the third BMI materials science colloquium held in Germany, May, 1968. The 28 papers are divided into six sections: (1) introductory lectures, (2) characterization and structure, (3) electronic interactions, (4) adsorption, (5) nucleation and growth, and (6) macroscopic effects. Of particular interest are the papers on LEED nalysis FEM studies. Overall, the quality of work presented is very high. EISENBERG, D., and KAUZMANN,W., The Structure and Properties of Water, Oxford, New York, 1969, 296 pages, $4.50--The authors' purpose in writing this book is "to summarize from the voluminous literature the most important and reliable data and to present the theories most effective in correlating these

Electron Microfractography (STP-453), Symposium, ASTM, Philadelphia, 1969, 235 pages, $16.00~This volume contains ten informative papers which constitute the proceedings of a 1968 symposium sponsored by the ASTM committee (E-24) on fracture testing. Information on the correlation between fracture mechanisms and macroscopic observations is presented for the following mateirals: (1) an 18% Ni maraging steel, (2) Fe single crystals, (3) a highstrength steel, (4) 4145 steel, (5) polycarbonate, (6) a dispersion-strengthened Mg-base alloy, and (7) several Ti alloys. GRANT, JULIUS, (ed.), Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 4th edition, McGrawHill, New York, 1969, 738 pages, $29.50--This new edition of the work originated by Ingo Hackh (1929) contains the definition of some 55,000 words relative to chemistry, and its allied sciences. The entries have been meticulously updated, utilizing both American and English points of rhetoric. As in prior editions, the scope is extremely broad; words and/or terms relating to theories, laws, rules, the elements, compounds, minerals, reactions, processes, etc., are defined. HALL, I. H., Deformation of Solids, Barnes and Noble, New York, 1969, 227 pages, $7.95--An undergraduate text that outlines a modern approach to an understanding of the deformation process. The emphasis is placed upon the relationship between cause, effect, and analysis, and what analytical assumptions can be made, and to what extent. Chapters are included on specifications and strain and stress, the relationship of strain and stress, analysis, validity of basic assumptions, visco-elastic behavior, and the relationship between mechanical properties and molecular structure.
ORMANDY,P. G., An Introduction to Metallurgical Laboratory Techniques, Pergamon, Oxford, 1969, 239 pages, 40/---This is Volume 3 in a series of Pergamon monographs on laboratory techniques. The book was written for student laboratory technician and contains an adequate review of basic laboratory procedure. The work is divided into the following chapters: (1) metallography, (2) high temperatures, (3) heat-treatment, (4) testing of materials, (5) joining of metals, (6) vacuum techniques, and (7) powder metallurgy (techniques). PETROV,T. G., TREIVUS, E. B., and KASATKIN,A. P., Growing Crystals .from Solution (Tr. from the Russian by A. Tybulewicz), Consultants Bureau, New York, 1969, 106 pages (8 { × 11), $17.50--This monograph was written for a

wide range of readers and is of value to the chemist, metallurgist, or anyone interested in crystal growth. It is a very honest and readable guide to the growth of small crystals ( < 2 cm) at atmospheric pressures and moderate temperatures ( < 100°C). Although several hundred references are cited, the book is primarily based upon the author's own experience. The chapters are: (1) fundamentals of the theory of growth of crystals from solutions, (2) methods for growing crystals, (3) crystallization under steady-state and non-steady-state conditions, (4) technical equipment needed, (5) preparation, and (6) experimental procedures.
STAEHLE,E. W., FORTY, A. J., and VAN ROOYEN, D. (eds.), Proceedings of the Conference on Fundamental Aspects of Stress Corrosion Cracking, NACE, Houston, 1969, 711 pages (8 ½ X ll)--This work contains the 50 papers (invitational) presented at the NACE conference held at Ohio State University in 1967. The purpose of the conference was "to identify those elements which underlie a quantitative approach to predicting the incidence of stress corrosion cracking." The papers are divided into the following categories: (1) general aspects of SCC, (2) homogeneous noble metal alloys, (3) homogeneous Fe-Cr-Ni alloys, (4) carbon steels, (5) high strength steels, (6) A1 alloys, and (7) Ti alloys.
