(15 pp.) discussion of optical methods used for the examination of questioned documents. Unfortunately, there are no illustrations. The remainder of the text (120 pp..) deals with investigations of hair (Seta, Sato and Mikayke). There are three main topics: morphological aspects, in which the scanning electron microscope plays an important role; elemental analysis, including a comprehensive survey of hair analyses, which will be useful to a wide variety of scientists as well as its intended audience; and electrophoretic protein patterns for hair. Other topics include isoenzyme typing, and amino acid and other compound analysis. This chapter is well illustrated, and supported by 632 references. A. Townshend
David Glick (Ed. ), Methods of Biochemical Analysis, Vol. 33, Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1988 (ISBN 0-471-63744-O). ix + 540 pp. Price g45.00. This volume is the last to be edited by Dr. David Glick, the founder editor of this highly appreciated series. It contains seven articles, on a wide variety of subjects: a practical approach to the very topical protein blotting analysis (Gershoni); methods of measurement of hydroxyl radicals in biochemical systems based on deoxyribose degradation or aromatic hydroxylation (Halliwell et al.); enzyme thermal inactivation processes (Ahern and Klibanov); fluorescence dequenching for following viral membrane fusion events (Loyter et al. ); detection and quantitation of biological sulphydryl compounds (Russo and Bump); study of normal and abnormal skeletal muscle mitochrondria (Sherratt et al. ); preparation and characterization of the liposome system (Barenholz and Lichtenberg). There is a subject index and a vast author index, and also cumulative author and subject indexes for all volumes in the series.

This book contains the proceedings of the third Petroanalysis Symposium held at the University of Lancaster in July 1987 under the auspices of the Institute of Petroleum and the N.W. Region of the Analytical Division of the RSC. It contains 27 camera-ready presentations of varying length and quality (some are only abstracts). The main thrust of the meeting was to review “new” techniques and methods for the analysis of raw materials and products from across the spectrum of the petrochemical industry. Some of the pages are very general, possibly due to confidentiality requirements, but the book contains some useful experimental details for several spectroscopic and chromato-
