1 GENE CONTROL IN THE LIVING CELL 



1968 

 By J. A. V. Butler George Allen & Unwin Ltd. 



164 pp., 58 figs., 4 tbs. London 



Price: (U.K.) 36 s. 



This book is written in a simple and straightforward style, and is aimed 

 primarily at the educated layman and the beginning student. However, it is an 

 excellent survey of a comparatively very new field of investigation, and there- 

 fore can be recommended for rapid orientation in this area. The author has been 

 one of its pioneers as a specialist particularly in the biochemistry of histones. 



The book is not exhaustive in its treatment but represents a personal and 

 selective view. Recent progress is discussed after briefly introducing the neces- 

 sary background material, which is mainly of a biochemical nature. 



Part I of the book occupies about 70 pages and is entitled "Genes and gene
