Glaser won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1961 for the invention of the Bubble Chamber.From the jacket: "Cell synchrony has become an important experimental approach for the amplification of cellular events. This book is a compendium of research approaches in the field of cellular growth and replication. It presents a broad coverage of many cell systems -- from fungi and bacteria to mammalian cells. Each of the eighteen chapters deals comprehensively with a separate cell system in which regulatory processes are investigated by the techniques of cell division synchrony. The material will help the reader understand the evolutionary diversity between different types of cells. It will also provide a basis for classifying regulatory processes which operate in different cell types and in the same cell under different synchrony procedurtes. Cell Synchrony will be of value to students and workers in cell biology, zoology, biochemistry, microbiology, cytology, developmental biology, general physiology, and biophysics."
