AUTHENTIC SCIENCE FICTION and should read himself from cover to cover. Here we have a fine example of teamwork in the production of a book. The people concerned with this excellent volume are too numerous to mention, but it must be said that authors, artists, publishers and prin- ters have worked together as aunity. That they have pro- duced a thoroughly outstand- ing book is their just reward. Please buy it and keep it. Part II of SCIENCE AND OURSELVES, by E. J. Saunders and E. R. Franklin, has been published at 7s. 6d. by John Murray (Albemarle Street, London, W.1). Itisa very nice book of elementary science as seen by its applica- tion to everyday affairs. It is highly recommended to all who are a little shaky about things scientific. It covers a very wide range of topics and will give the reader a pretty good grounding in most branches of science. Pitmans (Parker Street, Kingsway, W.C.2) have brought out two books that will be of use to science fic- tion fans. The first, for those with an eye on to-morrow, is THE HELICOPTER AND HOW IT FLIES. This isa very slim volume costing 10s. 6d., which seems rather a lot, though the information con- tained is certainly detailed and specialist. There can be very little about the helicop- ter that this book does not cover. It is written by John S. Fay. The second Pitman book is for those who started off on the wrong foot with algebra. A FIRST YEAR ALGEBRA, by T. A. Humphreys, costs. 6s. (answers separately 2/6), is written with an entirely new approach to the study of elementary algebra. Anyone who’ has trouble with this subject, at any level at all, is well advised to turn back to this efficient little book and cover the groundwork in a pleasant but thorough manner. 135 comiclooks.com
