GENETICS MANUAL
Current Theory,
Concept, Terms
by George Redei
(formerly professor at
Rockefeller University)
published November 1998
|
“Redei has created an outstanding compendium of genetics. Arranged as a dictionary, the book is almost an encyclopedic collection of terms and concepts. The author has also managed to define terms with appropriate mixtures of depth and detail for the researcher, along with clarity useful for the non-expert.”

SELECTED WORKS
OF HANS BETHE
(With Commentary)
by Hans A Bethe
(Cornell University)
published July 1997
|
“Physicists of all ages and specialties will find much here to enlighten them about the astounding growth in our understanding of the physical universe in the last 70 years, in the original words of a master contributor to that growth.”
Physics Today, USA
“This book gives a fascinating picture of the early development of quantum mechanics. If you want your library to have good source material on the history of modern theoretical physics you should see that it acquires this book.”

DIFFERENTIAL
GEOMETRY
FOR PHYSICISTS
by Bo-Yu Hou
(Northwest University, China)
& Bo-Yuan Hou
(Academia Sinica, China)
published November 1997
|
“ There are also topics one cannot find in a traditional geometry textbook, such as the cohomology of gauge groups, higher Chern–Simons theory and basic notions of noncommutative theory. I have found and enjoyed many interesting and less popularized things in the book.”

MICRO-PROBES
IN THE LIFE
SCIENCES
An Efficient Analytical
Technique for
Research in Biology
and Medicine
by Y Llabador & Ph Moretto
(CENBG, France)
published February 1998
|
“This book will be particularly useful to many biologists encountering problems of elemental analysis and analytical imaging who wish to have a clear yet comprehensive introduction to the principles, the conditions of application and the potential of nuclear microprobes compared with those alternative methods.”
Journal of Trace and Microprobe Techniques, France
“This is an excellent book on nuclear microprobes which gives a clear and precise account of one of the most advanced modern biophysical techniques.”

THE STORY OF
INTERFERON
The Ups and Downs in the
Life of a Scientist
by K Cantell
(Helsinki, Finland)
published May 1998
|
“It is likely to be useful to future historians of science as a primary source. Its factual content is, as far as I can tell, entirely accurate.”

HAND SURGERY
An International
Journal Devoted
to Hand and Upper
Limb Surgery and
Related Research
edited by S P Chow
(The University of Hong Kong)
|
“Review articles solicited from prominent hand surgeons are well written, concise, and treat the topics fairly with astute criticism of both the author‘s results and those previously published on the subject. The journal represents a well-organized, professional publication. Hand surgeons and libraries that serve Asian populations would find it a useful addition.”
