ASPECTS OF SCIENCE
SCIENCE IN NEW ZEALAND, edited by F. R. Callaghan; A. H. and A. W. Reed, 22/6. JART of the _prepatation for the recent well-organised Science Congress in Dunedin was this volume edited by Mr Callaghan and issued gratis to members. Its 272 pages, comprising, 23 papers by authorities in the several aspects of fundamental and applied science in the Dominion, give an informative survey of almost the whole field, ranging from anthropology to aerial topdressing and from the medical sciences to oceanography. The general reader should not fear that the papers are too academic; they prove indeed that many specialists can write informatively and even entertainingly for the intelligent layman. Such articles as I. D. Dick’s Historical Introduction, J. K. Dixon’s on Chemistry, C. M. Smith’s Changed and Changing Vegetation, and those on science in agriculture, in the fruit industry, and in the dairy industry by F. C. Callaghan, J. D. Atkinson and W. Ricdet respectively, might well be "required reading" for candidates for Parliament-and for electors. The book is liberally illustrated with maps and diagrams where required, and with 37
good photographs.-
