(The Nucleic Acids, Volume III covers the significant prog...)
The Nucleic Acids, Volume III covers the significant progress in understanding the chemistry and biological importance of the nucleic acids. This volume is composed of 12 chapters, and begins with an overview of the general principles of the determination of weight, shape, and dimension of large molecules in solution. These topics are followed by discussions on the photochemistry of nucleic acids and its constituents; chemical and enzymic synthesis of polynucleotides; and nucleic acid content and dynamics of bacterial viruses. The next chapters describe the biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. A chapter examines the relationship of nucleic acid and protein synthesis through considering cell-free systems, particularly those derived from mammalian tissues. Another chapter looks into the protein biosynthesis in intact bacterial cells. The final chapters explore the nucleic acid metabolism, with a special emphasis on the effect of radiation on the process. This book is of value to organic chemists and biochemists.

(THE TREE OF LIFE, planned and edited by Ruth Nanda Anshen...)
THE TREE OF LIFE, planned and edited by Ruth Nanda Anshen, philosopher, is committed to the advancement of nascent ideas. It is a program to present books in the various experiences of the heart and mind by some of the world's most deeply concerned thinkers. these books attempt to point to the new threshold of consciousness. They show that towards the end of an historical period, when thought and custom have petrified into rigidity, and when the elaborate machinery of civilization opposes and represses man's more noble qualities, life stirs again beneath the hard surface. This series aims to present solid analysis of the critical issues of our time in all cultures and to describe the phenomena as well as to prescribe the values of life in all its plenitude and manifordness whether human, animal, plant or galaxies since a common bond links all organic and inorganic matter. Modern humankind may thus find its legitimate place in the cosmic scheme. For faith in the dynamic energy of all life processes creates its won verification in the unitary structure of all reality. VOICES IN THE LABYRINTH is a critique of science and its effect on humanity. Written by an insider who has spent his entire life in science, the book considers, in generally understandable language and without the use of scientific jargon, some of the existential problems posed by the enormous growth of science in our time. Free forms of discussion and dialogue -- pathos, polemics, irony, and humor--are employed to give the reader a vivid impression of questions that have not been raised before.
