The material covered in this volume is the text of a series of papers presented at a colloquium on rapid mixing and sampling techniques held in 1964. This reviewer cannot comment on the value of this book for the expert but it is quite certain that it is of limited value to the biochemist not highly trained in the field of instrumentation.

Biochemistry, its academic parent, has had at least some attention, but the rethinking of disease in metabolic terms and, more important, the ways in which that rethinking was realized through technology have scarcely been considered. No doubt this is in part because of the technic...
