BOOK REVIEWS
Volume 8 has 65 contributors and covers subjects beginning with diuretics (continued from the previous volume) and includes such items as driers, drying, dyes, eggs, elastomers, electrical conductors. electrochemical processing, electrodialysis. electrode plating, electrostatic sealing, embedding. and emulsions. Volume 9 has 47 contributors and continues the subjects beginning with E and includes material on enamels. energy management, engineering data, enzymes, epinephrine and norepinephrine. epoxidation. epoxy resins, esterification. ethanol. ethers. ethylene, evaporation, exhaust control, expectorants. explosives. and extraction. It then starts to treat subjects beginning with the letter F and includes fans, fats. feedstocks. felts. fermentation. and ferrites. Volume IO has 63 contributors and continues with subjects beginning with the letter F. Included are chapters on ferroelectrics. fertilizers, fiber optics and fibers, fillers, films, filtration. tine chemicals. flame retardants. flavors, flocculation agents. flotation. fluidization. fluid mechanics, fluorine and its compounds, etc. The index to Volumes 5 to 8 consists of 200 pages and includes the material under the headings from castor oil to emulsions. Volumes 8 to 10. like the previous ones. contain a wealth of information written by experts in the various fields and no library can be complete without adding the series to its collection.

Alloys.
By WAYNE 2. FRIEND. Wiley. New
This book, which is part of the “Corrosion Monograph Series” sponsored by the Electrochemical Society, summarizes in one volume information concerning the corrosionresisting properties and limitations of alloys having primarily nickel as the major alloying constituent. Thus, with few exceptions, it treats the corrosion behavior of alloys containing generally 40% or more nickel. This includes pure nickel, nickel-copper alloys, nickel-chromium alloys. nickel-iron alloys, complex nickel super alloys, etc. (e.g., Hastelloy alloys, lnconel alloys, Incoloy alloys, etc., but not stainless steels). Information is provided on the attack of nickel alloys by both aqueous solutions (e.g., hot acids) and nonaqueous vapor (e.g.. chlorine). The book brings together data which were primarily previously available in specific literature on corrosion resistance and the factors affecting it for nickel alloys. It is well indexed, has excellent literature citations, and provides the data to permit one to evaluate and select the appropriate nickel alloy for satisfactory service under severely corrosive conditions.
The Asbestos Particle Atlas. By WALTER C. MCCRONL. Ann Arbor Science Publishers, Ann Arbor, Mich., 1980. v + 122 pp.. $85.00. Asbestos is the name given to a group of fibrous hydrous mineral silicates, primarily chrysotile. amosite, and crocidolite. The health hazard of asbestos is well known, but not as
