Abstract
brief historical introduction, there are eight carefully written and highly informative chapters on various aspects of the biology and general epidemiology of the salmonellae. Part II consists of a series of unconnected chapters on the epidemiology of these infections in various parts of the world, including Europe, Israel, several parts of Africa, North and South America, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Australia. Ten of the book's chapters are in English, nine in French, three in German, and one in Spanish. While this may make certain chapters unavailable to readers of limited linguistic competence, the volume contains a wealth of information readily available to anyone conversant with either English or French. In the preface the editor stresses the inadequacies of current knowledge of these almost ubiquitous organisms, and the many gaps that remain to be filled. While this is unquestionably true, the editor and his colleagues have made a magnificent contribution to our understanding of the salmonellae through this comprehensive summary of current knowledge. All students of this problem owe them a debt of gratitude for bringing together this material. GAYLORD W. ANDERSON
