SCIENCE
PHYSICAL SCIENCE: MAN’S CONQUEST OF MATTER AND SPACE, Odham’s Press. Eleven Contributors. HIS is one of Odham’s "New Educational Library." It is written in nontechnical language for the interested layman. Yet it is no lightweight "popular science" sensation. It is a sober book on textbook lines, even to the self-test-ing questions at the end of each chapter. The applications of the branch of science under review are fully treated in each chapter. The contributors are all eminent in their fields‘ and the book vouches for their skills in imparting knowledge. Diagrams and illustrations are a feature. The book will not open’ without revealing one. It may be a little carping to complain that some of them are too far from the matter they are in-
tended to illustrate.
