need for an interdisciplinary approach to research, although scientifically desirable and laudable, is not easily met by the individual investigator, a statement which I must now qualify lest it be taken as a faint-hearted view of the problems which confront us in this or any other field of disease-orientated re- search.

Rapid progress in the field of organophosphate compounds has made this new edition necessary.

The growing interest in the field of biological membranes in recent years is documented by the very large number of articles, reviews, journals and books which are appearing in this field.

Sensorimotor systems are not rigidly wired predetermined networks but rather highly plastic structures that learn and modify their entire performance in response to changes in external or internal conditions.

No one has counted the enzymes in the human organism, and probably their profuse number can only be estimated from the restrictions the finite mass of genetic material imposes.

A large number of comprehensive publications has been devoted to the Antarctic, to its plant and animal life.

This is the first of the set of three volumes in the Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology, New Series, that will cover the area of the hormonal regulation of plant growth and development.

If, ten years ago, one had been asked to comment on the prospects of peering into the fmest details of biomolecular organization, most electron microscopists would, I suppose at least, have been quite en- thusiastic.

This book contains the invited papers of an international symposium on Synergetics which was held at ZIF (Center for interdisciplinary research) at Bielefeld.

This manual collects in the form of laboratory protocols a series of experiments in the field of Membrane Transport and Membrane Bioenergetics.

The application of morphometric techniques in biology and the development ofbioche- mical methods for cytological-histological research have deepened substantially our knowledge and understanding of the structure, dynamics, and function of morphologi- cal structures, thereby improving upon a purely descriptive presentation.

Historically the search for the neural bases of behavior goes back a long way.
