Remembering Rudolf Höber, the charming professor: address to the 100th Conference of the German Physiological Society, Frankfurt, 30 September 2021.

RudolfOtto Anselm Höber (1873-1953) is best remembered today for his theoretical work, Physikalische Chemie der Zelle und der Gewebe, ["Physical Chemistry of Cells and Tissues"] first published in 1902 when he was just 29years old. The book applied the then-cutting-edge tools of biochemistry and biophysics to the understanding of living organisms and laid the groundwork for the emerging fields of biophysics and cell physiology. The book made Höber's reputation, but it was only one part of his enormous output. Over his lifetime, he published widely on many aspects of cell and membrane physiology. He is also remembered as a methodological innovator, particularly in studying the electrochemical characteristics of cells. From 1915 to 1933, Höber directed the Physiological Institute at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität at Kiel, attracting many talented scientists from around the world to work with him. The Nazis expelled Höber from his position as professor in 1933 because of his liberal, pro-democratic political activities and the fact that he had Jewish grandparents. After his emigration to the USA, Höber then accepted a position at the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where he continued his research and writing despite the social isolation and financial difficulties he faced in his early years as an immigrant. He died in 1953.

Physical Chemistry of Cells and Tissues

THIS volume, the lineal descendant of the senior atthor's “Physikalische Chemie der Zelle und der Gewebe“, follows rather similar general lines to the earlier work, but has been completely rewritten and thoroughly modernized. There are two sections on selected topics in modern physical chemistry; Hitchcock writes very clearly and competently on diffusion in liquids, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, electromotive force and membrane potentials, and on some points in the theory of aqueous solutions. Bateman contributes about 120 pages on molecules of medium and large size, discussing fully the inter-molecular forces, solid structures built from such molecules, and the properties of their aqueous solutions. These two sections constitute a very useful supplement to the usual medium-sized text-book of physical chemistry, skilfully introducing the reader to many modern and advanced topics of special value in biological research. From time to time, these chapters illustrate physico-chemical principles by reference to biological problems. While far from complete, this introduction will be of great value to those whose studies in physical chemistry for its own sake have not gone beyond a fairly early university stage.

Those who knew R. Hober's standard work on the physical chemistry of cells and tissues looked forward with great expectation to the first edition in English. This work has had six German editions between 1902 and 1926 and has been frequently called the bible of the physicochemistry of cells. The expectations are amply fulfilled by the English edition, which is by no means a condensation of the former publications but is an entirely new book, which covers the recent developments in the field of cellular physicochemistry. In the introduction, selected principles of physical chemistry are presented by D. L. Hitchcock in a concise and clear form, similar to that of his book, Physical Chemistry for Students of Biology and Medicine (Springfield. Ill., Charles C Thomas, Publisher, 1940). This part is supplemented by a comprehensive section by J. B. Bateman on the physicochemical properties of large molecules (micellae, films, membranes) and

PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY OF CELLS AND TISSUES

BUT little more than a century has seen the rise of modern biology founded upon the cell as the unit of structure in living organisms. E. B. Wilson divided the period which has elapsed since the emergence of the so-called cell theory in 1840 into three parts-the first to 1870 saw the establishment of the principles of genetic continuity, and in the second the more detailed examination of cellular inclusions and of cellular embryology proceeded apace. During this period similarities in the cytological behaviour of cells from diverse organisms, together with the great generalizations concerning the mechanism of organic evolution, both testified to the underlying unity of living organisms and served to maintain coherence in what might otherwise have seemed to be an impossibly diffuse body of biological data. From 1900 onwards it has been the Mendelian era-the study of cells, and again, through the happy combination of cytology, the study of cellular form and structure, and the study of behaviour as revealed by genetics, there has emerged the familiar but impressive generalizations which in their application extend over the whole field of biology.
