| spot NORTH, by Mena Orford; Arthur Barker, Ltd. (through William Heinemann Ltd.), N.Z. price 15/-. Further evidence, from an eye-witness, that in the toughest of all environments the Eskimos remain the friendliest and most equable of people. Mena Orford went to Baffin Island with her doctor husband and in four years graduated from a helpless (and rather silly) tenderfoot to a veteran Northerner. Her book is an affectionate record of remarkable people. Ee STORIES OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR, selected and with a preface by Guy Ramsey; Odhams Press, through Whitcombe and Tombs, is an anthology of heroism drawn from 26 of the best-known war-books of the Second

World War. It represents almost as many different kinds of heroism, from the flamboyance of Bader to the two o'clock courage of the submariner. [% AN AGE OF REVOLUTION, by Cyril Garbett; Penguin Books, English price 3/6. An account by the late Archbishop of York of the present crisis in faith and morals-which he regarded as one of the great crises of historyand of the Christian answer to it. In the author’s words: "An attempt is made in this book to give the Christian explanation of the world crisis, to show the reason for the failure of substitutes offered for Christianity, and to indicate the answer which the Church gives to man’s most fundamental and spiritual needs." [DISCHARGED DEAD, by Sydney Hart; Odhams, through Whitcombe and Tombs, English price 13/6. Submarine stoker’s attempt to describe undersea war without benefit of periscope or accurate information. Disappointingly little about sub’s "lowerdeck" life.
