‘STARRY PAGES'
‘ Starry Pages,’ is another contribution to Australian literature of a kind that has an individual touch. The author is Mr W. A. Amiet, M.A. It has been aptly said that he combines humour with compression, and provides amusement with instruction. In a series of short and illuminating chapters he deals with many subjects—astronomy, anthropology, philosophy, and various other and more general topics. The average reader will follow with particular interest the chapters on the lost continent of Atlantis, on Mars and the various theories advanced about its physical features, on centenarians, and on archaeological developments. He writes of the origin and structure of the solar and stellkr worlds; of planets, and meteors, and asteroids; of Einstein and relativity; of past ages of the earth; of life and man and immortality. This is a book to be recommended. The publishers are Angus and Robertson, Sydney.
