Nobel Laureate Donald Glaser's copy, with his name stamp to front pastedown and also a spine label of his personal research library. For more books from Glaser's library, search using the keycode: GLSR. Glaser won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1961 for the invention of the Bubble Chamber."It is the first and only book devoted wholly to membrane structure and function, and it treats aspects of the subject never before dealt with.[...] [The two volumes] will have broad general interest for advanced students and research workers in biology and medicine. Volume I will also be of interest to physical and organic chemists and to biochemists and will be useful as a text in courses in colloid and surface chemistry. Together, Volumes I and II will be particularly appropriate for advanced courses in biological topics related to membrane function and cell ultrastructure." --Jacket copy. **Somewhat heavy set.
