The theme of Rasmu. ssen's monograph is the relationship to cell homeostasis and to one another of the two most clearly established biological" second messengers," calcium and cyclic AMP. Rasmussen was one of the first to call attention to the relationships between these second messengers in an important review appearing over ten years ago (Science 170, 404 [1970]). This mono-graph serves to illustrate how experi-mentation during the'70's has added substantially to our knowledge of this topic.Historically, our appreciation of the biological importance of calcium dates back almost a hundred years to Ringer's original observation that muscle contrac-tion requires calcium. Only in the last 20 years, however, has the general role of calcium as a mediator of other cellular responses (such as secretion and metabolism) come to be fully realized. The discovery inthe 1950's by Sutherland of cyclic AMP and its role as a mediator of hormone action in the liver subsequently spawned a considerable quantity of re-
