Two renowned scientists from the famous Genetics Group of the Univer-sity of Texas have prepared this timely summary of by far the most sig-nificant developments in the whole field of experimental evolution. Amonumental text and reference book in genetics and evolution, the bookdeals with the evolution of the Drosophila as demonstrated by livingfotrs, and is mainly concerned with isolating mechanisms, genetics sys-tems shown by hybrids, and the cytology of over 1/3 (215) of the knownspecies of the genus.

Announeing Publication of

Behrman's

THE SCALP IN HEALTHAND DISEASEThe long-neglected field of scalp and hair disorders is covered with a fresh andoriginal approach-not only for the Dermatologist, but for every man in medicinewho is mystified by scalp and hair problems.

In no other book will you find such up-to-date discussions on the anatomy,chemistry and physiology of the hair-its endocrinology, anthropology and em-bryology,-diagnosis and treatment of its diseases-and the use and abuse ofmeasures to alter its appearances.

The fallacious idea prevalent among laymen as well assome members of the medical profession that diseasesof the scalp are of minor importance served as the stoutspringboard for publication of Behrman's book.For often scalp diseases are the early symptoms of skindisease elsewhere-and of deep, systemic, or psychoneu-rotic disorders.To make the work valuable to the Dermatologist andthe non-Dermatologist alike, Behrman approaches theproblems of the hair and the scalp from a fundamentalanatomic and physiologic viewpoint. He begins with astudy of every known function and activity of the com-ponent structure of the normal hair apparatus.

After that, he covers all the known disorders and dis-eases of the scalp-including anomalies, alopecias, andinfections-scalp involvement due to systemic disease,scalp involvement due to other skin diseases, malforma-tions, new growths, and neurodermatoses. Diagnosisand Treatment are covered in each instance.He includes discussions of the most recent advancesconcerning the endocrines and hair growth, scalp nutri-tion, and the daily hygiene of the hair and the scalp.He even reviews types of hair preparations in commonuse, such as shampoos, dyes, bleaches, hair and wavelotions, and their effects on the hair and the scalp.

Here is the first comprehensive book on the relation between the physical condition of soilsand plant growth published on this important but little-understood subject. Written by a group ofsoil and plant scientists, and covering such topics as the influence on plant growth of soil moisture,soil aeration, soil temperature, and mechanical impedance to development of roots and shoots,the monograph will prove especially helpful to graduate students in soil physics and plantphysiology.CONTENTS

This AAAS symposium volume assembles im-portant contributions of a score of laboratories inthe United States and Canada from which manyof the recent major advances in pituitary-adrenalphysiology and therapeutics have come, and in-cludes studies on the regulation of adrenal corticalactivity, the role of the cortical hormones in pro-tein, carbohydrate, and mineral metabolism, andeffects of the cortical steroids and the ACTH invarious disease states. A summary chapter on"Adrenolescence" by Dr. George Perera forecastssome of the possible future trends in this activefield of endocrine research.

APPROACHES TO TUMOR CHEMOTHERAPYx + 442 pp.-7j x IOj-'iflustrated-clothbound-1947

.E I I I - -I

This volume of 41 papers by leading authorities is a comprehensive summary of the progres so far madetoward the chemotherapy of malignant tumors.

The plans for the volume were developed under the auspices of the National Cancer Institute and suchother centers of cancer research as the Memorial Hospital of New York, the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Can-cer Research, and the Lankenau Institute of Philadelphia.

Among the 93 contributors to the book ar J. Engelbreth-Holm. M.D., University of CopenhagenDenmark, and Alexander Haddow, M.D., D.Sc., University of London and the Royal Cancer Institute of London,England. Members of the staffs of all the principal cancer research institutions in the Uniied States contributedto this 'volume'.

APPROACHES TO TUMOR CHEMOTHERAPY was not only a deliberately planned program but the con-tributions were presented and discussed leisurely at two 5-day research conferences at Gibson Island, Maryland.After these presntations and discussions of the manuscripts they were reveiwed and edited by both the Chairmanof the Publications Committee and the Editor of the volume, and all the numerous references to the cancer litera-ture throughout the world were carefully checked. However rapid the much hoped-for progress in the cancerproblem may be, this volume promises to be an important and trustworthy reference book.
