U.5.$30.25. Thisbook contains the texts of the 4 plenary lectures and 20 papers read at .the First InternationalSymposium-on Q$intitative Mass’Spectrometry in Life Sciences, held at the State Ur+rsity of Ghent, Belgiurh,June 16-18, 1976, when 156 delega&esfrdm 14 countries attended: .Thisbook &worth readingby..* l%e Scientists,if only ior the,exceReni reviewspresent&dby the plenary fec&rers, viz I?:.6, Horning (QuanfZfication of drugs by ma+spectro.metry); P. Padieu (Evaluation by mass fragmentogmphy of metabolic Pathways of endogenous and exogenous compounds in Eukaryote cell cd-j; H. Adlercreutz (Quantitative~m~ spectrometry of . endogenous and exogenaus .&era& in rne~~~~ studies in man); and C. C. Sweeley (Techniques for quantitative.meesurementsby mass sPectr+ mt%ry). The majorJty of the contributed papersdealt either with asp&c+ of mass fragmentogmphy, Eefd desorption ma& spectrometry, or g.c_-m.s. Although the direct reproduction of typed manus&pts has been used, the effect is acceptable because aR the typing has been done z&r.ratelyi with the &me type-face. I&fottitely, severalof the more complex figures heve not reproducedclesizly,possibly because they had to be reduced greatly in’size. In a pub&%&ionof this s&dard of quality, all figures submit&i should be redrawn prof&siqnaRy. Nevertheless,those concerned with such rapid publication of this book will earn the gratitudeof all those who were unable to attend the Symposium, L. Lang (Ed.), Absorpfior, Spectra in tlze hfrared
