This interesting book is published as a monograph of the Physiological Society. It presents in condensed form the role of the sympathetic nerves in the control of the blood vessels, particularly those of the muscle and the skin of the extremities. The physiological principles governing use of sympathectomy, norepinephrine and epinephrine, and the adrenergic blocking drugs are well presented, with appropriate illustrations. One chapter is devoted to the pheochromocytomas and another to the vasovagal syndrome. The senior author is an authority with world-wide recognition. The monograph makes available fundamental concepts, principles, and knowledge based upon contributions by authorities in several countries, and it is highly recommended as informative and concise reading for all physicians, medical students, and physiologists. It develops principles directly concerned with the clinical aspects of peripheral vascular disease and methods of study but does not cover differential diagnosis and treatment. The reader is thus given the basis
