Chapier 4 



There is a good presentation of this topic in Ackerman. 



Theory of Hearing, by Ernest G. Wever. John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 

 New York, 1949. This interestingly written book covers the historical aspects 

 of the subject and then presents the details of current research. Although 

 somewhat out of date, its only real defect is the inadequate presentation of the 

 work of Von Bekesy. The level is fine for beginning students. 



"The Ear," by G. von Bekesy. Scientific American, August, 1957. 



Chapter 5 



Both the Setlow and Pollard, and the Ackerman texts have adequate presenta- 

 tions of these topics. The one in Setlow and Pollard is better written. 



Chapter 6 



Ackerman and Setlow and Pollard have sections on this subject. Ackerman's 

 is longer, more detailed, and better written. 



Essentials of Biological and Medical Physics, by Ralph W. Stacy, David 

 T.Williams, Ralph E. Worden, and Rex O.Morris. McGraw-Hill Book Company, 

 Inc., New York, 1955. This is a general textbook. I have not listed it among 

 the general references because it contains little more than an outline of most 

 of the topics I have chosen to present in this monograph. The excellent chapter 

 on muscle is almost entirely understandable by beginning students. 



Chapter 7 



There are good treatments of most of these topics in Ackerman, Setlow and 

 Pollard, and Glasser. 



Chapter 8 



Both Ackerman, and Setlow and Pollard contain reasonably inclusive, well- 

 written expositions of this subject. 



Isotopic Tracers in Biology, by Martin Kamen. Academic Press Inc., 

 New York, 1957. This book, written by one of the pioneers in the field, contains 

 a wealth of information on all aspects of the subject. It is especially good for 

 beginning students, who will gain an appreciation of the scope of isotope methods. 



Chapter 9 



There are good treatments of this topic in both Ackerman and in Setlow and 

 Pollard. The presentation in the text by Setlow and Pollard is excellent for stu- 

 dents seeking an inclusive treatment, since it contains an exposition of the 

 methods used and results obtained in the laboratory directed for a decade by 

 Prof. Pollard. 



Actions of Radiations on Living Cells, 2nd edition, by Douglas Lea. Cam- 

 bridge University Press, New York, 1955. A classic in the field which almost 

 created the field when it appeared in 1947. A revision due to the late Douglas 

 Lea's associates altered very little of the original, as would be expected for a 

 classic. Many parts are understandable by beginning students, even though the 

 mathematics and physics may be beyond their grasp.
