Transplantation of Tiaaua. Volume II. Edited by Lynclon A. Peer, M.D., with twelve contributors. Baltimore, 1959, Williams & Wilkins Company. 690 pages. Price, $20.00. This is the second volume of a most comprehensive wd exhaustive review of this fascinating field of surgery. Volume I covered cartilage, bone, fascia, tendon, and muscle. Volume II covers skin, cornea, fat, nerves, teeth, blood vessels, endocrine glands, organs, peritoneum, and cancer cells. The authors of the various sections are pioneers in this field, and the material is presented in a scholmly and exacting manner. This should not frighten the clinician, however, for the book offers numerous practical applications which can well be adopted by the various surgical specialties. Now that organ transplanting has been made commonplace by the advances in vascular surgery, we await the break-through which will make these transplants practical. Basic fundamentals, anatomy, current theories, and research are discussed in each of the chapters, with emphasis on specific clinical applications. This excellent compilation should prove a valuable addition to the literature of this field. Victor D. Dmbrow Textbook of Oral Surgery. Edited by Gustav 0. Kruger, B.S., A.M., D.D.S., F.A.C.D., Professor of Oral Surgery, Georgetown University School of Dentistry, Washington, D. C.; Professor of Oral Surgery, Georgetown University School of Medicine; Chief of Dental Stag, Georgetown University Hospital; Consultant and Member of Executive Committee, District of Columbia General Hospital; Consultant, Veterans Administration Hospital, Martinsburg, W. Va.; Consultant, TJnited States Naval Dental School, Bethesda, Md.; Past President, Middle Atlantic Society of Oral Surgeons; Diplomate, American Board of Oral Surgery. St. Louis, 1959, The C. V. Mosby Company. Price, $12.75. The editor selected as contributors twenty-one well-known authorities in oral surgery, and each has devoted his efforts to one chapter dealing with a particular phase of the specialty. It is impossible in a short review to do justice to the many outstanding features of the book. There are 489 illustrations; the reproduction of the roentgenographic material is excellent and the drawings by Mellani are superb. The author is to be congratulated on his choice of illustrations. This book will be of inestimable value to the student and the practitioner. It is highly recommended by this reviewer. 124
