organization of photoreceptor systems, they analyze in detail photosynthesis, photoperiodism and photomorphogenesis (including phytochrome), photo-tropism and phototaxis, direct stimulation by light and vision. They then describe deleterious effects of radiations, photoreactivation and optical activity in biological systems. The appendices contain physical constants, conversion factors, stateme...

calcium release." Integrated in this way are permeability, contraction, conduction , the action potential, mitosis, shock; the effects of ions, anesthetics, other drugs, and radiation are also explained in terms of protoplasmic clotting. An extensive bibliography-including many references to the work of the author and his students-is marshalled both to fortify his own theory and to present and ...

The Biochemistry of the Nucleic Acids

The overwhelming proliferation of scientific and technologic information in the twentieth century is a fact of life to which literate people must adjust. Those deeply engrossed in one aspect of the phenomenon find the maintenance of a balanced "overview" increasingly difficult. Even the very well-organized and energetic reader often feels that "keeping up" is almost impossible. Contributions su...
