✦ Synopsis

BOOK REVIEWS. 391 matter covering electric currents, fundamental processes like ionic reactions, and the biography of the earth.

An examination of the book reveals an ingenious co-mingling of what mathematics may be consumed with the physics unknowingly or that an impression may be created that the mathematics and physics are inseparable. In either case little harm is done, for the manner of presentation is such as to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding.

A more rigorous training is provided when the student reaches the end of each chapter and attempts to answer the questions found there. Proper supplemental classroom instruction will round off the difficulties encountered.

The ideas and materials in the text have been developed in the well-known pioneering course in physical science in Stanford University. For the beginning student the book has many advantages and teachers of elementary prnciples will find its coverage and methods of value. The general reader too will find the subject matter presented in an interesting and informative way.
