The third volume of the "Annual Review of Physiology" is planned along the same lines as those of previous years. Some 800 pages are devoted to reviews of twenty-nine major topics in physiology. These reviews are really concentrated abstracts of many articles, and for the most part the reviewers make little attempt at critical evaluation or development of a point of view. For quick orientation, however, this book, as in the past, is invaluable.
