The Dyslipidoses, Raúl Fleischmajer. Springfield, Thomas, 1960, 509 pp., $16.00

Benjamin H. Landing M.D.

This book begins with a general survey of the biochemistry and metabolism of fatty acids, glycerolipids, phospholipids, sphingolipids and cholesterol. A number of diseases involving "synthesis, transport or deposit" of these lipids are then reviewed, not including disorders of metabolism of steroids other than cholesterol, nor the carotenoids. The descriptions of clinical and pathologic aspects of the various diseases of lipid metabolism vary from good to excellent, and the author demonstrates both judgement and willingness to take a stand in some of the more controversial fields, such as the glycogen storage diseases.
