TY - JOUR T1 - FOrtschritte der biochemie 1938-1947 Y1 - 1949/03/05 N1 - 10.1001/jama.1949.02900270066032 JO - Journal of the American Medical Association SP - 682 EP - 682 VL - 139 IS - 10 N2 - This modest-looking yet attractive book represents an accomplishment that is unusual and should for that reason be especially welcome to any one wishing to reorient himself in the new biochemistry. It follows a series of volumes that appeared in 1925, 1931 and 1938, and is designed to summarize the progress in this field in readable form for physicians, chemists, pharmacologists and biologists. Although it covers more than 2,200 references to original work in the period from 1938 to 1947, the author manages to be at once coherent, accurate and interesting. His German is unaffected and readable, and his command of the subject matter is such that every fact presented appears in its proper relation to others. This will be appreciated by long-suffering readers of annual reviews in which item after item of abstruse information may be introduced without either historical background to justify it or even a conjunction to suggest SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1949.02900270066032 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1949.02900270066032 ER -
