Of the joints of the body commonly afflicted by serious pathology the knee is the most accessible. Arthrography must be accepted as a very useful method of examination of the knee joint and an essential one in certain circumstances.

Chapter 3 deals with statistical mechanics in some detail, so that the reader can appreciate the historical background leading to the Fermi Dirac statistics for electrons in metals and semiconductors, and in chapter 4 these statistics are applied to determine the current carrier density in various types of semiconductor.

and included in the series are some of the newer applications of probability theory to stochastic models in various fields, storage and service problems, 'Monte Carlo' techniques, etc.

Ever since the invention of the fiberoptic endoscope in 1888, gastrointestinal endoscopy has grown increasingly popular in day-to-day patient management. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Related Procedures will be a useful and practical guide in the making of a qualified gastrointestinal assistant.

Conceptual understanding of the histogenesis and interrelationship of non-Hodgkin's Iymphomas has been in a state of turmoil for over a decade. In more recent years immunological and immunocytochemical studies have clarified some problems although in other areas such as the T-celllymphomas histogenetic interrelationships are still far from clear. We are aware, therefore, that in writing this book we have been aiming at a moving target; nevertheless, we feel that the need for such a book, particularly amongst diagnostic histopathologists, outweighs the advan­ tage of waiting until all the t's are crossed and all the i's dotted.

Providing a broad coverage of the principles of sampling inspection and quality control, this latest edition has been revised throughout. Particular emphasis is given to the inclusion of tables and nomograms enabling the setting of numerical exercises.

Time-series analysis is an area of statistics which is of particular interest at the present time. Throughout the book, references are usually given to recent readily accessible books and journals rather than to the original attributive references.

These studies have been paralleled by equally important insights into the general structure and organisation of cell membranes and the possible ways in which signals arriving from the 'outside' can be transduced across the cell surface membrane to induce or regulate the cell's programmed responses.
