This interesting book is a collection of five excellent papers summarizing recent investigative work. These are "The Anterior Pituitary and Adrenal Cortex in Experimental Hypertension," "The Role of Renin in Experimental Hypertension," "Blood Pressure Regulatory Mechanisms and Salt-Water Exchanges," "The Changing Patterns of Sodium Metabolism in Hypertension," and "Electrolyte Participation in Human Hypertension." All of these are thought-provoking and undoubtedly add additional knowledge to the perplexing problem of human essential hypertension.
