Items related to Studies of Narcosis: Charles Ernest Overton
Synopsis
This volume is an English translation of Overton's monograph on structure-activity relationships regarding anaesthetic action and toxicity. This book has been cited widely by scientists studying the correlation of biological activity with partition coefficients and the mechanism of anaesthesia. Although the original monograph was published in 1901, it should still be of value to modern toxicologists, particularly those involved in the development of quantitative structure-toxicity relationships and the predictive limitations of such models. Introductory chapters by Lipnick, Miller and Winter emphasize the importance of this text. This book should be of interest to anaesthetists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, medical and organic chemists and pharmaceutical historians.

Review
I would urge other anaesthetists...to read it. They will be pleasantly suprised.' British Journal of Anaesthesia Studies of Narcosis is a valuable and fascinating book, and should be in the library of anyone concerned with the actions of xenobiotics of living organisms.' Xenobiotica
