prior to publication, the references generally stop at 1968. This means that topics such as Weare's treatment of the energy gap in amorphous materials, Levine's bondcharge theory of non-linearities, the transient analysis of parametric amplification and short pulses, and the present experimental situation in the investigation of parametric processes are at best treated sketchily, if at all. However, the book is already 1026 pages long, and, as is hoped by the author, its qualities outweigh its defects and it is to be recommended. C. R.
