Abstract
THIS brilliant and useful book deserves a warm welcome. The author describes it as the first attempt he knows in a new and necessary craft— “the conveyance of the atmosphere and facts of recent scientific research to the public, the conveyance of atmosphere being the more important part”. He has certainly managed to compress into a smaller space the latest results in astronomical, physical, and biological science than any other writer we know in fact, there is nothing quite like it, and Lord Rutherford's commendation is well deserved.
