Methods of Tissue Culture

A list, with titles, of about 120 papers by the author and his colleagues is followed by a classified list of important contributions by others in the fields discussed. Author and subject indices are given. Adventures in Respiration is not a physiological monograph in the usual sense, but rather the scientific autobiography of one of America's leaders in the physiology of respiration. The layma...
