BOOK REVIEWSAntibiotic and Chemotheraphy

MARY BARBER and L. P. GARROD. Pp. 366,illustrated. Edinburgh and London: E. & S.Livingstone. 1963. 35s.

It is often held that there is little point in textbooks of anti-microbial therapy because the fieldchanges so rapidly that the substances discussedhave been largely superseded by the time the bookappears. There have, of course, been startlingchanges: in particular, by combing the soils of theworld a great many substances with antimicrobialactivity have been uncovered and too many of themhave been marketed. After twenty years of com-mercially organised prospecting, it seems likely thatthe days when a spoonful of dirt could contain anantibiotic goldmine are over. There has recentlybeen a return to a more Iational chemical approachand now seems an excellent time to take stock ofthe agents currently available.

It is difficult to think of a team better fitted forthe task than the acknowledged masters who are theauthors of this book. They systematically review allthe agents which remain worth mentioning, neatlysummarising for us their wide experience and know-ledge. The highly effective styles of prose which wehave come to associate with them have lost nothingin the collaboration. The book cannot be criticisedfor what it is; if it is to be criticised for what it isnot, it is perhaps a smaller and less encyclopaedicwork than some who knew of the book's prepara-tion may have looked forward to. As it is, itcontains so much information that Barber andGarrod will no doubt be glad to consult it fromtime to time. Anybody else concerned with anti-microbial therapy will have to be very knowledge-able or very pig-headed not to feel the need tohave the book readily to hand.
