Structure and Function of Connective and Skeletal Tissue

This book is a publication of one hundred and one papers selected from those given at the Advanced Study Institute on structure and function of connective and skeletal tissue. This institute was held under the auspices of N.A.T.O. at St. Andrew's, Scotland, from June 15 to June 25, 1964. These papers embody much of the latest investigation and thinking of the internationally known participants in this Advanced Study Institute and, as such, this book is a valuable source of our present knowledge concerning the connective and skeletal tissue. Each paper presented provides a list of references and, thereby, a guide to the literature concerning the subject as well. A high proportion of the papers chosen for inclusion in the book have to do with structural chemistry and the inter-relations of connective tissue components on a submicroscopic basis. The last nine papers, however, present some of the medical aspects of connective tissue physiology and wound healing. For the scientifically minded clinician and the basic scientist who is working with connective and skeletal tissue this book seems to be well worth its price of $28.50.
