AB News of scientific and medical advances holds great interest for the reader and the public. Many popular books are written describing in nontechnical language how these advances have been made. The discovery, the development and the application are all important. In this book a good story of the antibiotics and other chemotherapeutic agents is told. The style makes for easy reading and the information is well marshalled. One can recommend the book for medical students, physicians, nurses and all lay persons who are interested in knowing the facts about the modern "miracle drugs."
