A TEXTBOOK OF ENTOMOLOGYBy Herbert H. Ross-

Systematic Entomologist, Illinois State Natural History Survey,and Professor of Entomology, University of Illinois.

This book surveys all fundamental aspects of entomology. There are chap-ters on entomological history, and geological history of insects, showing rela-tionship with economic and scientific progress, and with geo-ecology. Toallow treatment by function, insect physiology is taken up separately. Sub-ject matter is linked throughout with the general biological picture.Ready in October Approx. 525 pages 431 illus. Probable price, $6.00

CLIMATIC ACCIDENTS INLANDSCAPE MAKING

By C. A. CottonProfessor and Lecturer in Geology, Victoria University College,

New Zealand.

This study of the interruptions which occur in geomorphic cycles considersthe "special"n processes which alter normal movements of cycles. The cli-matic shifts to aridity, which causes change in the base-level, are discussedin the first of the book's two sections. The second part is devoted to theclimatic swings to refrigeration, which brings about glacial eroieon.

August 1948 354 pages 267 illus. $7.00

OUTLINES OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRYBy Farrington Daniels

Profrs ssor of Chemistry, U tiversity of Wisconsin.

A successor to the well-liked Getman-Daniels, the text is now completelythe work of Professor Daniel. Emphasis is placed on the research point-ofview without sacrificing necessary fundamentals. New material has beenadded and, where possible, laboratory data illustrate physical-chemicalphenomena.

ALPFTHNEW WORD ON

TELEPHONE CABLES

Lead makes an excellent sheath fortelephone cables - sixty years andthousands of miles in service havewell proven that. But lead is usefulin other ways-storage batteries andpaint, to name only two. So thetelephone industry shares the lim-ited available supply with otherclaimants.

Before the war when there wasno lead shortage, Bell Laboratoriesengineers sought to develop betterand cheaper cable sheaths. An idealsheath is strong, flexible, moisture-proof, durable and must meet spe-cific electrical requirements. Nosingle material had all those virtues,so thoughts turned to a compositesheath, each element of whichshould make a specific contributionto the whole.

Various materials and combina-tions were studied. Desirable com-binations that satisfactorily met thelaboratory tests were made up inexperimental lengths, and spent thewar years hung on pole lines andburied in the ground. After thewar, with an unparalleled demandfor cable and with lead in short

supply, selection was made of astrong composite sheath of ALumi-num and PolyETHylene. NowWestern Electric is meeting a partof the Bell System's needs with"ALPETH" sheathed cable.

Meeting emergencies -whetherthey be storm, flood or shortage ofmaterials - is a Bell System job inwhich the Laboratories are proud totake part.

THE 1IICKETTSIAL DISEASES OF MAN

A NEW AAAS PUBLICATIONThis new symposium volume, about to appear from the press, is a comprehensive survey of the general field of

Rickettsial diseases in man. Among the 27 contributors appear the names of many of the foremost American au-

thorities on this important and relatively new field of medicine.

The first group of papers includes discussions of the taxonomy, biology, isolation, and identification of vectors,and reservoirs of infection of the Rickettsial diseases of man. The second group of papers is devoted to discussionsof serological reactions, the Well-Felix reaction, the complement-fixation and agglutination reactions, and the prepa-

ration and standardization of Rickettsial vaccines. The final group of papers treats of insecticides, methods of theirapplication, and mite controls.

Many of the contributors to this volume during World War II were on the battle fronts in Africa, Italy, France

and Germany, protecting our troops and the local populations wherever Rickettsial diseases prevailed. Rarely, ifever, have the authors of a medical book had so wide and so successful practical experience in the very subjects on

which they have written.

Director, Carter's Clinical Laboratory, Dallas, Texas

830 Pages

With 228 Text Illustrations

and 25 Color Plates

PRICE$5.00

Since the appearance of the last edition of this bookthe sciences of both microbiology and pathology haveundergone great progress. So rapid has been develop-ment and change that methods which were new onlya few years ago are now obsolete.In revising this popular text, Dr. Carter has brought itcompletely up to date, without materially enlargingthe size.All chapters have been carefully scrutinized, someomitted, others combined. In no case have essentialdetails been omitted, however.Added stress has been given the part which microbesplay in the processes of nature, the home, manufactur-ing and commerce. In the section on pathology, chap-ters on vitamin deficiencies and on endocrine glandshave been added.

TSCALERH ere is the answer to your need for a reasonably priced scaler which combines trouble.free operation with precise and reliable radioassay results. Plug-in Duoscales, embodyingan improved version of the Higginbotham circuit, make possible a simplified wiring layout.

Scaling circuit repairs are made by a procedure nomore complicated than replacing a tube. There isno need to purchase a separate register since "The64 Scaler" contains a built-in Wizard register withprovisions for zero reset. Resolving time of the scal-ing circuit is 5 microseconds, faster than that of anycommercially available Geiger tube. Scale selectorswitch and neon interpolating lights are mounted ina clear lucite dial. A meter on the front panel indi-cafes voltage across the Geiger tube which is con-tinuously variable between 600 and 1800 volts andelectronically regulated.

Yet it efficiently counts hardbetas and gammas, too, because highercounting gas pressure (atmospheric) pro-vides high counting efficiency for pene-trating radiation.
