Cancer and Vitamin C explains in plain language the nature and known causes of this disease. It also weighs the value and limitations of various modes of treatment: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormones, immunotherapy, and a number of unorthodox ones. The value of vitamin C as an adjunct therapy is corroborated by detailed accounts of cancer patients who have derived varying degrees of benefit from vitamin C treatment.

"An excellent text, highly recommended." — Choice When it was first published, this first-year chemistry text revolutionized the teaching of chemistry by presenting it in terms of unifying principles instead of as a body of unrelated facts. Those principles included modern theories of atomic and molecular structure, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics. In addition, Dr. Pauling attempted to correlate the theories with descriptive chemistry, the observed properties of substances, to introduce the student to the multitude of chemical substances and their properties. In this extensively revised and updated third edition, the Nobel Prize–winning author maintains an excellent balance between theoretical and descriptive material, although the amount of descriptive chemistry has been decreased somewhat, and the presentation of the subject, especially in relation to the nonmetals, has been revised in such a way as to permit greater correlation with the electronic structure of atoms, especially electronegativity. The principles of quantum mechanics are discussed on the basis of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron. The quantized energy levels of a particle in a box are derived by means of a simple assumption about the relation of the de Broglie waves to the walls of the box. No attempt is made to solve the Schrödinger wave equation for other systems, but the wave functions of hydrogen-like electrons are presented and discussed in some detail, and the quantum states for other systems are also covered. Statistical mechanics is introduced before thermodynamics, and the discussion of thermodynamics is based on it. This arrangement reflects the author's belief that beginning students can understand statistical mechanics better than chemical thermodynamics. Aimed at first-year college students who plan to major in chemistry or closely related fields, the book is written in a logical, clear, and understandable style. In addition, many excellent figures are included, along with numerous problems and 75 pages of appendices covering such topics as symmetry of molecules and crystals, hybrid bond orbitals, and magnetic properties of substances.

By following the simple, inexpensive and safe regimen described in this book, you can greatly reduce your chances of catching cold and, at the same time, improve your general health. So contends its Nobel Prize-winning author Linus Pauling. Despite widespread popular belief in its effectiveness in preventing and combating the common cold, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is still discounted by many medical and nutritional authorities s a useful preventative treatment. Now Professor Pauling, after carefully reexamining the evidence and conducting his own tests, concludes that when properly used this naturally occurring food substance - far safer than the drugs usually prescribed or recommended for colds - is thoroughly effective in both the prevention and the alleviation of the common cold and related diseases. The common cold is extraordinarily common. It occurs more often than all other diseases combined. Colds cause much human suffering and great losses of time and money, and can lead to more serious diseases. Yet at a cost of a few cents a day per person, contends Pauling, the incidence of the common cold can be greatly reduced. It is all clearly explained in this brief, readable book addressed to the general public. Professor Pauling reviews the evidence that led him to his conclusion, suggests why the medical profession has so far failed to accept that conclusion, and shows how you can set up an inexpensive ascorbic-acid regimen for yourself and your family.
