There are good
reasons why a
student microscope
shouldn't have
removable parts.
Keeping eyepieces and objectives where they belong
is no problem w ith AO® Series One-Sixty student
microscopes. They're locked in place to prevent loss
or damage. These rugged microscopes are built
to withstand many years of daily school use. Yet, they
offer many of the features found in more expensive
professional laboratory microscopes.
The Series One-Sixty microscope features advanced
infinity corrected optics to assure flatter field of
view from edge to edge. A tamper-proof in-base
illuminator. Built-in substage condenser. Reversible
monocular or dual-viewing body . Wide field
eyepieces. Vibration-free fixed stage. Fast, responsive and precise nosepiece focusing. All metal
stu rdy base.
The nosepiece focusing - a unique feature of all AO
microscopes- prevents damage to slides or objectives. If the objective is accidentally focused down
on the slide, the nosepiece will give.
A demonstration of the Series One-Sixty will quickly
convince you that it's the ideal microscope for
teaching the biological sciences . Ask your AO representative about it, or write for our brochure.

TRANSPORT AND TRANSFER PROCESSES IN PLANTS
Proceedings of a Symposium Held Under the Auspices of the U.S.-Australia Agreement for Scientific and Technical Cooperation
Canberra, Australia, December 1975.
edited by I. F. WARDLAW and J. B. PASSIOURA
This book integrates and reviews a broad spectrum of
research on the movement of substances in plants. It is
divided into three major sections. The first, on short distance transfer, deals first with transfer systems such as
plasmodesmata and symplastic transport, cytoplasmic
streaming, transfer cells, and starch storage processes;
and second, with the control and regulation of nutrient uptake, particularly potassium, and aspects of the electrophysiology of roots and the control and movement of
ions through the cortex and stele to the xylem. Two presentations deal with auxin transport and uptake, while the final
area covered is leaf processes such as pholem loading and
ion transfer by guard cells.
The analysis of long distance transport occupies the second section and covers many aspects of structure and
function in both the xylem and phloem, the control and
significance of plant water-relations, and the control and
analysis of phloem transport. The final section, on integrating systems, includes an examination of the long
term control of water movement, assimilate partitioning in
plants, the indirect regulation of photosynthesis, and the
implications of hormone transport and nutrient recycling in
the whole plant.

This broad, one-semester introduction to biology covers core topics in an easyto-read and well-illustrated presentation that assumes no chemistry
background. All chapters were generated by experts in their field and then
carefully compiled and edited by the author to ensure smooth reading and easy
comprehension by students. This treatment combines the integrity of a team of
authoritative contributors with the unity of a single-authored text.
Seven self-contained sections permit considerable flexibility in course structuring. Units cover the cell, reproduction and development, genetics,
organismal diversity and behavior, basic human biology, evolution, and
ecology.
Various study aids add clarity and appeal to the presentation. Concise section
headings are ideal for reviewing the key points in every chapter. New terms are
highlighted in bold-face type and are fully explained. Questions at the beginning of each chapter direct students' attention toward forthcoming important
concepts. Boxed "bioepicurian delights" (notes on biological materials as exotic foods) appear throughout, providing a novel dimension to the study of
biology. Numerous photographs, diagrams, and graphs further enchance the
presentation.

-ELEMENTS OF
ECOLOGY AND
FIELD BIOLOGY
This shortened and less rigorous version of the author's best-selling ECOLOGY
AND FIELD BIOLOGY, Second Edition, is an authoritative and up-to-date introduction to ecological principles that is accessible to all students. Approximately 400 pages shorter than ECOLOGY AND FIELD BIOLOGY, the new
ELEMENTS OF ECOLOGY AND FIELD BIOLOGY features a descriptive
emphasis with far less theoretical and mathematical material. All areas typically
covered in introductory courses are explored within a unified ecosystem
theme. The book's consideration of people as integral parts of world ecosystems and its comparative survey of the major ecosystems are outstanding
aspects of the presentation.
The descriptive emphasis in ELEMENTS OF ECOLOGY AND FIELD BIOLOGY
is reflected in the book's organization. Part I offers a brief overview of ecology,
the ecosystems, natural selection, and speciation. Topics in Part n include
energy flow in ecosystems, biogeochemical cycles, the ecosystem and the
community, and ecosystem development. The two chapters in Part III cover
population characteristics, growth, and regulation and the relations among
populations. Part IV includes an unusually comprehensive survey of major
aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
Over 300 photographs. maps, and graphs, incfudtng diagrams of the essential
structure and function of each ecosystem. Tentative: 448 pages; $13.95.

DONALD HEYNEMAN
G.w. Hooper Foundation
University of California
A national sUNey of 53 zoology
instructors has resulted in this brief
version of a widely known full-year text.
The authors have eliminated many of
the time-consuming and equipmentrequiring experiments, reduced
taxonomic detail, and shortened
chapters on histology, cell division,
embryology, genetics, behavior, and
ecology. Retained are the larger text's
flexibility, sequence, phylogenetic
approach, evolutionary perspective,
and detailed dissection instructions.
Now, this one-of-a-kind text can be
used in one-semester and one-quarter
courses.

The only text of its kind to include empirical evidence and actual experiments.
Exceptionally broad in scope, this guide
covers: structural. functional. and experimental viewpoints; the diversity between cells and structural diversity within
cells; and the structures and functions
within the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell
surface - relating the latter to problems
of integrated functions. Also noteworthy
are the book's straightforward approach, even on the most complex topics, and numerous light and electron
microscope photographs. Here is an excellent supplement for introductory

There's a difference between
Nasco-Guard specimens
and imitations.
Some imitations are more like toys than lifelike.
Others are noticeably moldy and smelly. Almost
all are shipped in some sort of fluid.
But not Nasco-Guard preserved materials.
The Nasco process assures moist, flexible,
non-toxic, fresh-looking specimens - without
fluid . They're easy to dissect. And since
formaldehyde has been eliminated, there are
no problems with skin -contact or fumes.
Nasco-Guard is an exclusive, patented
process- proven with 8 years'experience.
It's available only from Nasco! If you'd

frog and a FREE catalog of specimens,
