GENERAL BIOLOGY, New Third Edition By PERRY D. STRAUSBAUGH, West Virginia University, and BERNAL R. WEIMER, Bethany College. This edition retains the "all life is one" approach of former editions, which made it a favorite beginners' text. The authors present a logical integration of biological facts, making possible the treatment of life as a unified concept. They develop the study of plants and animals simultaneously, and treat both as living things which carry on the same general life functions, with their differences appearing only in struc- ture and in the nature of machinery by whicb they carry on their work. This edition stresses scientific method; the discussion of enzymes and their importance in all life processes has been brought up-to-date; the sections on respiration, genetics, and the plant kingdom have been completely revised. April 1952. Approx. 828 pages. Prob. $6.00. A NEW MANUAL for the BIOLOGY LABORATORY Second Edition By BERNAL R. WEIMER and EARL L. CORE, West Virginia University. Three major revisions make the second edition more effective and useful: (1) outline drawings are bound in with appropriate text instead of being placed at the end; (2) space for student answers is left after each question; (3) all pages have been perforated and punched for two- and three-ring notebooks. 1952. Prob. $2.75. PRINCIPLES of GEOCHEMISTRY By BRIAN MASON, Indiana University. This book summarizes the significant facts and ideas concerning the chemistry of the earth, and synthesizes these data into a coherent treatment of its physical and chemical evolution.

SOILS AND SOIL FERTILITYBY Louis M{. THOMIPSON, Iowa State College. AecGiraa-Hill Series il Agriculture. Ready inApr-il.

Designed for an elementary college course in soils, this text places particular emphasis on the forma-tion and classifications of soils, soil fertility and uses of fertilizers, and maintenance of organic matterand soil conserxation. The first six chapters deal with the physical, biological, and chemical propertiesof soils, and the formation and classification of soils. The remaining chapters deals with fertility andmanagement.

FUNDAMENTALS OF FRUIT PRODUCTION. New 3rd EditionBy- V\. R. GARDNER, U. S. Department of Agricuiltuire, F. C. BRADFORD and H. D. HOOKER, JR.MAcGraw-Hill Publications in the Agricultural Sciences. In press

Explains in an orderlN, systematic manner how the basic underlying principles of plant anatomy,morphology and physiology, and of soil science and climatology apply to the culture of fruit plants.Emphasis is on principles underlying growth and culture, not the details of practices. The treatmentdeals principally with the more common deciduous fruits. However, much illustrative material isdrawn from non-deciduous fruits and otlher crop plants. The scope is world-wide.

INVERTEBRATE FOSSILSBv RAYMOND C. MOORE, C. C. LALICKER. and A. G. FISCHER, University of Kansas. Ready inJutne

A w%ell-organized, comprehensive, descriptive guide to all important fossils. It is designed to serve asa text for college courses in Introductory Invertebrate Paleontolog-, and as a handbook for academicgeologists and practicing geologists in oil and otheri mineral industries. Over 400 line drawings illus-trate the more than 2,000 fossils described.

GEOLOGYBy 0. D. VON ENGELN, Cornell University, and KENNETH E. CASTER, University of Cincinnati.Ready in May

A basic text covering both physical and historical geology, this book starts with geologic phenomenafamiliar to the student, and, following this consideration of physical geology, presents the facts of his-torical geology as an outgrowth of the former. A strong narrativ e continuity is maintained throughoutwith logical sequences of chapters and topics.

TRACERLAB MAKES

OUTSTANDING

END-WINDOW

GEIGER TUBES

Tracerlab's Automatic Sample Changer allows laboratories makingradioassays on a large number of samples to obtain data faster, moreaccurately, and with greater reproducibility. Fully automatic radio-activity measurements on as many as twenty-five samples can be madeon this versatile unit without the attention of a technician. Results interms of elapsed time are printed on a tape by the Tracergraph, whichalso prints a corresponding sample index number.

In addition, half life measurements on short half life materials canbe made, or, with the E-25 Automatic Absorber Attachment, energyspectrum data on a particular sample can be obtained with the unitautomatically inserting absorbers of varying thickness over a fixedsample.

The complete unit for an automatic counting system consists ofthe Automatic Sample Changer, Shielded Manual Sample Changer(shown in position), Tracergraph Printing Interval Timer, and either theAutoscaler or Superscaler.Complete information on these instruments is contained in Tracerlab'snew 108-page Catalog.
