The review provides an overview of several books in the field of biology and medicine. "The Development of In Vitro Fertilization from Laboratory Animals to Humans" by M.C. Chang is praised for its historical significance and practical insights into comparative reproductive physiology. The chapter by Lopata and Wood on in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer adds a valuable clinical perspective. "Physiology of Adrenocortical Secretion" by Tatuzi Suzuki reviews the literature on corticosteroid secretion, covering environmental stressors, surgical and pharmacologic interventions, and circadian rhythms. However, the book is criticized for its awkward prose and lack of integrative discussions. "Culture of Animal Cells: A Manual of Basic Technique" by R. Ian Freshney is highly recommended for its practical approach to cell culture techniques, including routine procedures and advanced methods. The book is praised for its clear instructions, extensive references, and useful appendices. "Ethopharmacology: Primate Models of Neuropsychiatric Disorders," edited by Klaus A. Miczek, focuses on the pharmacology of naturally emitted behavior in primates, addressing methodological issues and research developments. The book includes chapters on the effects of amphetamine on social behavior in various primate species.The review provides an overview of several books in the field of biology and medicine.
