Abstract
SOCIENTIFIC workers cannot escape the welter of events, the horrors and anxieties of the moment. It is well, therefore, to be reminded occasionally that there is a normal side, that peaceful creative life exists. Such demonstration is welcome: it comes from across the Atlantic in the form of 743 pages of biochemical abstracts. True, the work described was done before war began, and the summaries, two of which are from Danish contributors, were written before April 1939. Everywhere there is progress, whilst some of the work will have practical application at a time when knowledge of food values and of much else in biochemistry will play a part in saving lives and in contributing to health in Great Britain.
