摘要：Dr. Otto Glasser, the well known biographer of Wilhelm Conrad Rlontgen, himself a distinguished physicist, gives us in this brief volume a scholarly narrative of R6ntgen's life. The work, prepared in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of discovery of the rointgen ray and the hundreth anniversary of his birth, was sponsored by the American radiological societies. Much new material is presented in this version. Of special interest are the translations of R6ntgen's three communications which can be taken as models of scientific research, and the reproductions of R6ntgen's original radiographs. A complete chronology on Rontgen, a list of his scientific papers and a short bibliography of recent titles are included. The book should prove of value to all medical men interested in radiology and to those attracted by the historical background of medical evolution.
