BEET-SUGAR TECHNOLOGY,by R. A. McGinnis, ed. 574 pages, illustrations, cm. New York, Reinhold Publishing Corp., 1951. Price, $10.00.
tables, 16 X 24
This is a comprehensive, practical reference book covering the manufacture of beet sugar in the U. S. and foreign countries. In the attempt to cover the field, brief elementary discussions have been given on all phases of the industry. The history, culture, insect pests, plant diseases, the tare laboratory, beet storage, diffusion, chemistry of beet sugar including processes of purification, crystallization, saccharate processes, and drying have been given more thorough discussions. The book is designed to serve as a reference book for both the technical and professional worker in the beet-sugar industry. STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY REVIEWS 1941-1950, by Oscar Krisen Buros, ed. 19 X 27 cm. New York, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1951. Price, $7.00.
457 pages,
This volume is the third in a series of publications prepared to assist research workers and statisticians to locate and to evaluate the statistical methodology books in all fields using statistical methods. Only books on statistical methods and closely related subjects are listed, and only those books of value have been included. A total of three hundred and forty-two books written in English and published or reviewed in the ten-year period 1941-1950 are listed. Two sets of numbers are used-page numbers and entry numbers; there is a roughly classified subject index; book entries in section “Books and Reviews” are arranged in alphabetical order by journals, with a key to abbreviations used for excerpted journals; and a publisher directory and index, an index to titles, and an index of names (authors and reviewers, etc.,) are included to aid the reader. GENERALCHEMISTRY, by William A. Felsing and George W. Watt. Third edition, 558 pages, illustrations, 16 X 24 cm. New York, McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc., 1951. Price, $5.00. The subject material in the third edition has been revised and reorganized to aid the Atomic structure is presented before periodic student in the understanding of the subject. arrangement of the elements, treatment of combining weights has been simplified, equivalent weights is given special emphasis, and oxidation-reduction reactions and nuclear chemistry modified. A variety of exercises and problems is included. LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS IN GENERAL CHEMISTRY AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS, by George W. Watt. 227 pages, diagrams, 2.5 X 29 cm. New York, McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc., 1951. Price, $2.75. The laboratory manual is designed to be used in conjunction with GeneruZ Chemistry (see above), but may be adapted for use with other textbooks. The manual is stream-lined, giving only directions necessary for the conduct of the experiments, labeled diagrams are used for assembling of apparatus, and work sheets are included for all experiments. INTEGRAL TRANSFORMS IN MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS, by C. J. Tranter. 118 pages, 11 X 17 cm. London, Methuen & Co., Ltd., 1951; distributed in U. S. by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Price, $1.50. The monograph outlines a procedure to be followed in using an integral transform in the It proposes to show that a similar technique can be solution of boundary-value problems. employed whatever the kernel or range of the integration of the transform. The author claims the method is more direct and straightforward than the classical method. The method may be adequate for some investigations in mathematical physics, but assumptions have to be made, and other limiting factors have to be considered. THE CLIMATE NEAR THE GROUND, by Rudolf Geiger, translated others. 482 pages, illustrations and diagrams, 14 X 22 cm. Press, 1950. Price, $5.00.

Microclimatology or what has been described as “Climate in the Least Space” is a relatively new science. It is recognized as a natural outgrowth of climatological investigations which are of direct significance to man.
