New Books Stereology and Quantitative Metal­ lography. Special Technical Publica­ tion #504. 180 pages. American Soci­ ety for Testing and Materials, 1916 Race St., Philadelphia, Pa. 19103. 1972. $9.75 plus shipping charges (5% domestic, 7% foreign)

This book covers the most important aspects of quantitative stereology and metallography in sufficient depth to serve as an introduction and brief education for those engaged in micros­ copy of materials, as well as for ma­ terials engineers and scientists who are interested primarily in application of the methods to research and engineering problems. The topics covered are: mathematical foundations of quanti­ tative stereology; application of topo­ logical concepts in stereology; auto­ matic methods for analysis of microstructures; design of modern image measurement systems; European in­ struments for quantitative image an­ alysis; correlation between yield strength and microstructure of some carbon steels; quantitative metallog­ raphy of the age hardening precipitate in super alloys by replica electron microscopy; and practical applications of quantitative metallography.

Systematic Analysis of Surface-Active Agents. 2nd edition. Milton J. Rosen and Henry A. Goldsmith, xxvi + 591 pages. John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 605 Third Ave., New York, N.Y. 10016. 1972. $27.50

This book is the second edition of Vol 12 of "Chemical Analysis, A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and its Applications," edited by P. J. Elving and I. M. Kolthoff. The stated special features of this edition include: coverage of all meth­ ods and all types of analysis; methods devised and tested by the authors which are not available elsewhere in the literature; more than 50% new ma­ terial ; updating of the literature (almost complete through 1970) ; a new section on the separation and identification of surfactant raw materials and nonsurfaetant additives; large sections de­ voted to instrumental techniques of analysis; systematic approach to the analysis of unknown surfactants with extensive details describing the methods used; tables listing representative com­ mercially available surface-active agents by structural type; and an extensive bibliography of the surfactant analysis field.

throwing away counting vials contaminated by radioactivity!

REFLUXO-WASHER™ II

MAKES CONTAMINATED VESSELS REUSABLE A busy laboratory can recover the cost of the stainless steel RefluxoWasher in just a few months! One liter of solvent, which can be used several times will decontaminate 140 vials in approximately 90 min­ utes. Heated vapor rising from a solvent mixture on the bottom of the Refluxo-Washer condenses in the vials and falls back into the pool of solvent. Decontamination occurs through this process of continuous vapor washing. The Refluxo-Washer has a 14"x 14" base and comes with heater, thermoswitch, cooling coil and 2 stainless steel baskets.

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, VOL. 44, NO. 13, NOVEMBER 1972

Catalysis in Chemistry. A. J. B. Robert­ son. 56 pages. Barnes and Noble Books, 10 East 53rd St., New York, N.Y. 10022. 1972. Paperbound. $2.75

This book is a simple introduction to the field of catalysis with special reference to solid catalysts and hetero­ geneous catalysis. After a brief his­ torical introduction, the book describes the adsorption of gases on solids, the kinetics of catalytic reactions, the relation between catalytic phenomena and solid state chemistry, and the possible importance for catalysis of various defects in solids. The use of mathematics has been kept to a mini­ mum, and there are many suggestions for simple experiments. This volume is part of the "Methuen Studies in Science" series which is intended to provide students with concise, intro­ ductory surveys of important topics in the physical, chemical, and biological sciences. Surface and Colloid Science, Vol 5. Egon Matijevic, Ed. vii + 331 pages. John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 605 Third Ave., New York, N.Y. 10016. 1972. $22.50

The fifth volume of this series con­ tains reports on the following topics: rheological properties of monomolecular films (basic concepts and experimental methods, experimental results, theo­ retical interpretation, and applications) ; physical chemistry of detergency; and friction, lubrication, and wear. Spectral Analysis of Organic Com­ pounds: An Introductory Programmed Text. 2nd edition. Clifford J. Creswell, Olaf A. Runquist, and Malcolm M. Campbell, ν + 328 pages. Burgess Publishing Co., 426 South 6th St., Minneapolis, Minn. 55415. 1972. $12.95

In addition to a new major section on mass spectrometry, this latest edition now uses SI units throughout and includes a conversion table. The book's purpose is to develop the ability to interpret spectral data and assign structures to organic compounds. The book presents the theories of infrared, ultraviolet, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry, and illustrates how spectral data are interpreted and synthesized into structural formulas. The programmed format provides con­ stant feedback and enables the in­ dividual to learn at his own rate. Each chapter contains a list of in­ structional objectives along with state­ ments, questions, answers, review, and a list of references for additional outside reading. A complete index is also included.
