JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF COSMETIC CHEMISTS 627 tion or analysis of a material's tex- ture or consistency qualities. The last four Chapters of the book titled "Production viana•,ement "Packag- ing Materials Science .... Quality Control: Process and Dosage Form " and "Drug Regulatory Affairs," are well written without excessive detail and should prove to be useful and informative to those cosmetic chem- ists involved in the managerial and marketing aspects of cosmetic prod- ucts. There is some overlap of material in the book, but in view of the large number of notable contributors and the scope of the text, the editors should be commended for keeping it to a minimum. In summary, the book most certainly will well serve those involved in industrial practices and would be an excellent addition to their personal libraries.--ANT•ONY J. CuTre-Brooklyn College of Phar- macy. LIPID CttROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS, Vol. 1, 2nd Ed., Edited by Guido V. Marinetti. Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1976, IX + 337 pages. Price $29.50. The expanded second edition of this informative work consists of three volumes, which collectively represcnt an attempt to compile the major chromatographic methods in the lipid field. Volume 1, reviewed here, contains six chapters by competent special- ists. There is one chapter on column chromatography of neutral glycer- ides and fatty acids, which includes a brief discussion of the value of high-pressure liquid chromatogra- phy in lipid analysis. Another chapter deals with gas chromatography of neutral acylgly- cerols. These include ordinary fats and oils (triglycerides) as veil as any glycerol esters in which one or more hydroxyl groups have been combined with fatty acids and any remaining hydroxyl groups may be combined through an ether linkage to an aliphatic alcohol, aidehyde, or saccharide. Other chapters cover thin-layer chromatography of phospholipids and glycolipids, the use of silica-gel- loaded-paper chromatography, the chromatographic analysis of alkyl ether lipids and their derivatives, and the analysis of phosphatides and glycolipids by chromatography of their partial hydrolysis or alcoholy- sis products. Even though a major emphasis in this book is on elucidating the bio- chemical nature of complex fatty mixtures of natural origin, there is much material of interest to the cos- merle chemist. Most of the chapters have excellent detailed instructions and comments on experimental pro- eedures, which are helpful to the practicing analytical chemist. There are mnple literature references, and also a few typographical errors. An unfortunate deficiency is the absence of an index.--ALF•Er• WmssL•-- Consultant.
