The book "The Effects of Ionising Radiation on the Digestive System" by I. T. Kurtsin, published in 1963, provides a detailed account of experimental studies on the effects of whole-body radiation on the digestive system, primarily in dogs. It also discusses the mechanisms behind these changes and the role of higher brain centers. The book is valuable for those interested in radiation injury to animals or humans, though it contains a significant number of references to Russian work. "An Analysis of Bus Driver Accidents" by W. L. Cresswell and P. Froggatt, published in 1963, summarizes previous research on accident causation and analyzes the experience of bus and trolleybus drivers in Ulster and Belfast. The statistical methods used are criticized for their technical complexity and lack of rigorous foundation, particularly in the analysis of variance techniques employed. Despite these criticisms, the book offers a valuable discussion of past work and general principles. "L. G. Norman" reviews "Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 2nd ed." by M. Irving Sax, published in 1963. The book is praised for its comprehensive coverage of toxicology and industrial hygiene, making it an essential reference for industrial medical officers. However, it is noted that the book's telegraphic style and lack of detailed references to toxicological sources are limitations. "J. M. Tomlinson" reviews "A New Way with Old Leg Ulcers—A Practical and Illustrated Manual for Nurses" by Stanley Rivlin, published in 1963. The book aims to help district nurses manage varicose ulcers more effectively, emphasizing the importance of early mobilization and continuous leg use. It is recommended for district nurses, medical students, and general practitioners. "W. R. Lee" reviews "Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products" by Marion N. Gleason, Robert E. Gosselin, and Harold C. Hodge, published in 1963. The book is intended for physicians dealing with patients who have ingested potentially toxic products, focusing on commercial chemicals rather than industrial ones. While it may be useful for industrial medical officers, its content is primarily aimed at the American market. "J. A. C. Brown" reviews "La Medicina del Lavoro sulle Navi e negli Arsenalì Militari Marittimi" by Sergio Fati and Raffaele Pallotta, published in 1963. The book is a summary of hazards and treatments for conditions in naval vessels and coastal arsenals, but some content may seem outdated to English readers. It includes numerous photographs but has poor-quality diagrams. "Occupational Health in Four Countries" is a report from the World Health Organization's Inter-regional Travelling Seminar in 1962, covering visits to Yugoslavia, the U.S.S.R., Finland, and Sweden. The seminar brought together participants from 21The book "The Effects of Ionising Radiation on the Digestive System" by I. T.
