Baroreceptors and hypertension

Abstract

This book records the proceedings of a two-day symposium held in Dayton, Ohio, in November, 1965, and attended by some fifty experts in this field, drawn from the USA and many European countries. For a book of this kind, the delay in publication seems unduly long. As a factual report of the communications delivered at the symposium and the subsequent discussion, its appeal is clearly to other specialists in the field of experimental cardiovascular research. For this particular purpose the presentation is most adequate, as each communication is followed by a comprehensive bibliography and the book itself is provided with both subject and* author indexes, the latter referring not only to the contributions from the participants in the symposium but also to all the authors of papers quoted in the bibliographies. The standard of publication is high and the editing satisfactory, although, as so often happens, the verbal contributions in discussion are often difficult to follow?
