Alcoholism, Basic Aspects and Treatment. By Harold E. Himwich, M.D. Price, $5.75. Pp. 220. The American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1515 Massachusetts Ave., N. W., 1957.
These two volumes are publications 46 and 47 of The American Association for the Advancement of Science, and both are ably arranged and edited by Harold E. Himwich. They contain papers presented at symposia held at the Association's Atlanta, Ga., meeting December, 1955. Each includes an introduction by Chauncey D. Leake. It is obvious that symposia, including fourteen and nineteen papers, respectively, cannot be summarized, although the last presentation in each volume contains such a summing up by Himwich. It can only be stated that each volume contains the significant information available at the time presented by the most competent investigators of the subjects discussed.
