Biological Clocks in Medicine and Psychiatry

adds, and dealt, in part, with the importance of the structure of fatty acids both as components of animal diets and animal tissue and as factors in blood coagulation and thrombosis. The second symposium discussed the newer techniques used to study lipids, especially the recent developments in gas-liquid, liquid-solid, and thin-layer chromatography. From the brief summary given above, it will be obvious that this volume offers an enormous amount of information which will be useful to anyone working in lipid research regardless of his specialized field of interest. But perhaps more important is the information made available to the nonspecialist who wishes to learn about the advances that are being made in this rapidly expanding field and that are beginning to bridge one of the many gaps between biochemistry and physiology per se and clinical medicine.
