Book Reviews MY FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS, by E. Emmet Reid. Chemical Publish- ing Co., Inc., New York, 1972. 220 pages, illustrated. Price $10.00. This reviewer first met Dr. Reid in the early 1950's at a Sulfur Chemis- try Conference at the University of Indiana. He was then about 80, elderly, but still vigorous, alert, and active. His six-volume masterwork, "Organic Chemistry of Bivalent Sul- fur" (1958-66), had yet to be issued. Some 20 years later, with numerous publications and patents •in the in- terim, this autobiography has ap- peared. Dr. Reid is still elderly-one hesitates to say old-and his eyesight has failed. But he still calculates molecular weights in his head and is now assembling data for a book on preparative sulfur chemistry. No wonder he has referred to his auto- biography as "an interim report." This book will teach you little about chemistry it will teach you much about being a chemist. Its pages are full of the names of chem- ists, well known and less famous, who have been associated with the author at Baylor, Johns Hopkins, The Chemical Warfare Service, and many consultant companies. The text glows with the inner light of a man who knew he wanted to teach chem- istry and do research, and who suc- ceeded in his desires. In doing so, he profired relatively little in a material sense, but he enriched the lives and careers of those he taught and coun- seled and thus enriched his own. Unlike "The Organic Chemistry of Bivalent Sulfur," this book is not a necessary addition to the technical library. One cannot truthfully say "this book is required for all those who... "Yet it is to be recommend- ed highly. For those of us who have been associated with some areas of organic sulfur chemistry, it will pro- vide several hours of pleasant nos- talgia. Perhaps more important, how- ever, may be its effect on younger chemists. For them it will open the windows on an era in American chemistry now unfortunately gone and will perhaps give them some new insights on what it still means to be a chemist, to teach, and to do research. E. Emmet Reid, truly a gentleman, a scholar, and a scientist, in his hundredth year has produced another important piece of work.- EDWARD F. LEvY-The Gillette Com- pany, Toiletries Division. 215
