Bibliography 



For a background in biology : * 



Weisz, Paul B., The Science of Biology. New York: McGraw-Hill Book 

 Company, Inc., 1959. Weisz has attempted to concentrate on the con- 

 cepts of biology and has left out many of the descriptive details. It 

 is interesting to read and presents a good over-all picture of modern 

 biology. 



McElroy, William D., and Carl P. Swanson, eds., Prentice-Hall Founda- 

 tions of Modern Biology Series. Englewood Cliffs, N. J.: Prentice- 

 Hall, Inc., 1960-61. Each of these small books was written by a care- 

 fully selected, competent author. Taken together, they give a modern 

 approach to the field. 



Moore, John A., Principles of Zoology. New York: Oxford University 

 Press, 1957. One of several good zoology texts. 



Hill, J. Ben, Lee O. Overholts, Henry W. Popp, and Alvin R. Grove, 

 Jr., Botany, 3rd ed. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., 

 1960. As a general reference on plants, this book is very useful. 



Stanier, Roger Y., Michael Doudoroff, and Edward A. Adelberg, The 

 Microbial World. Englewood Cliffs, N. J.: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1957. 

 A complete textbook of microbiology, useful as a general reference 

 because it includes algae, protozoa, and various fungi as well as bac- 

 teria. In fact, so many general principles of biochemistry, cellular 

 physiology, and ecology are discussed, that this is one of the best 

 references in general biology. 



Giese, Arthur C, Cell Physiology. Philadelphia: W. B. Saunders Com- 

 pany, 1957. The physiology of cells, with no major distinction be- 

 tween animal and plant cells. 



Baldwin, Ernest W., Dynamic Aspects of Biochemistry, 3rd ed. New 

 York: Cambridge University Press, 1957. A thoroughly readable ac- 

 count of this important field.
