Infrared Absorption Spectra: Index for 1945 -1957 contains 16,000 references to published infrared absorption spectra in 33 American and European journals and book. This index aims to provide a means for the location of published absorption spectra from 1945 to 1957, compiling references that consist of an abbreviated symbol of the journal, volume number, and page where an actual spectrum of the compound is reproduced. This book is arranged according to the compounds whose spectra are given, which is roughly similar to that used in Chemical Abstracts. This text is suitable for chemistry students and professionals conducting work on infrared absorption spectra.

What Is Tuberculosis?: Its Control and Prevention provides an introduction to the understanding of tuberculosis, a contagious lung disease caused by tubercle bacillus. This book discusses the characteristics, causes, treatment, control, and prevention of this disease. Organized into two parts encompassing 85 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the nature of the problem of tuberculosis. This text then explores the characteristics of tubercle bacillus, which is very resistant and can live for a long time outside the body especially in damp dark places. Other chapters consider the modes of infection and explain how bacillus tuberculosis enters the body by inhalation and by ingestion. This book discusses as well the most dangerous source of infection, namely, a patient with open tuberculosis of the lungs. The final chapter deals with tuberculosis as a useful index of the social and economic conditions of a community. This book is a valuable resource for physicians and scientists.
