Abstract

BACTERIOLOGY is no longer an exclusively medical subject. Most of the bacteria are harmless, many of them are useful, and their study is of importance to students of botany, physiology, industrial processes and agriculture. Further, from a cultural and philosophical point of view, the study of bacteria as microscopic plants, broadens the student's interest in living organisms and deepens his appreciation of the intricacies of Nature.

Fundamentals of Bacteriology

By Dr. Martin Frobisher Jr. Pp. ii + 474 + 4 plates. (Philadelphia and London: W. B. Saunders Co., 1937.) 14s. net.
