The chapter discusses the three primary ways chemotherapeutic agents can affect cells: altering surface properties, inhibiting essential enzymes, or competitively inhibiting essential metabolic processes. The authors aim to highlight the modes of action of drugs rather than their chemical structure, but the book lacks clinical applications and experimental details, which may be preferred by medical professionals and bacteriologists. The title could be more accurately described as "The Biochemical Basis of Chemotherapy." By Philip M. Morse, this book introduces students to the theory of vibration and sound, using new mathematical techniques from quantum mechanics to analyze sound behavior in rooms. It is intended for physics and communications engineering students, providing a systematic exposition of methods for handling acoustical problems. The book covers normal modes of vibration, sound wave propagation, and acoustic impedance, with a focus on transient phenomena. While it lacks experimental comparisons and references, it remains valuable for students and researchers in acoustics. By F. Le Gros Clark, this book emphasizes the importance of ensuring that every person, regardless of race or creed, has access to a nutritious diet. It addresses the challenges of translating scientific ideals into practical solutions, highlighting the role of agriculture and the economic issues involved. The author's writing is clear, attractive, and humorous, and he balances serious subject matter with a sense of proportion. The book is praised for its comprehensive examination of the contradictions between food surpluses and hunger, and for its fair and technically informed analysis of various issues.The chapter discusses the three primary ways chemotherapeutic agents can affect cells: altering surface properties, inhibiting essential enzymes, or competitively inhibiting essential metabolic processes.
