Announcing THE NEW SCIENCE SERIES

Reading edition

One of the most significant developments in our life today is that as scientific knowledge almost daily advances, educated people are left more and more in ignorance of its achievements. Scientists for the most part write for each other and the general reader is forced to resort to popularizers of science for his information. It is apparently forgotten that many of the greatest scientists from Galileo and Copernicus to Darwin and Huxley wrote largely for the public they wished to reach with their ideas.

The publishers have this tradition in mind in offering The New Science Series which will present the latest scientific trends and discoveries from all parts of the world in a series of books written by leading scientists or those in close touch with their work. It is the aim of this series to help modern men and women to know more about themselves and their world, and to feel that they understand something of what it is all about.
