c - j: .~.yg:*. _.ges: June, 1165 psychiatrists, industrial physicians and psrsonnal director s--.are trying to bring togsthsr what is taiown~about how to cop* with smotional stress rlatsd to work and to apply that knowledge. In the past 30 years their work has been limited, slow and pitifully inadequate This book documents that history and its contemporary stage. The authors are not professionals m the field of mental health. They are a group of earnest young businessmen who are curious for both a statement of the problem of mental illness in industry and some answers to it, and they have looked intensively into the field. This is the best summary we have to date of the contemporary scene in industrial mental health and it will probably stand at an up-to-date reference work for a number of years to come. The writers have performed an important service bv accurately reflecting the state of the field and the degree of understanding and confusion within it. .. Cond. from Foreword Perhaps in the very nature of such a survey it is inevitable that the reader is left with a sense of superficiality and non-integration of materials; he has, however, been given a great deal of material for thought and discussion. With vigor and imperturbability Iperhaps reflecting the pragmatic and action.oriented world of business which they have now entered) this young group has essayed an extraordinarily difficult task: exploring the complex worlds of psychiatry and industry, and attempting to throw a measure of light on the problems which hinder the melding of these two so different professional sub-cultures. To a very considerable degree they have succeeded. Cond. from Review ui 2nd.,.Med. 6 Surg. 34, 349.350 (April, 1965) by Dr. John Maclver S28 Handbook on Aerosols.

The document covers such problems as the formation and behavior of smoke clouds, analysis, protection against toxie agents, and the dispersal of insecticides. It contains 11 technical papers on such subjects as filtration, testing of smoke filters, micrometeorological instruments, aerosol stability, and the behavior of particles. Other chapters discuss the adsorption wave, optical properties of aerosols, aeroso. formation, general meteorological principles, measurement of particle sise and size distribution, travel and persistence of aerosol clouds, plus a chapter on the general properties of aerosols -- J.
