About this issue

This issue of Astounding Science Fiction (British Edition, Vol. VII, No. 10, June 1951) contains three science fiction stories and articles on dianetics. The featured novelette is "The Helping Hand" by Poul Anderson (p. 40). Jack Vance contributes "The Potters of Firsk," a short story about uranium-235, cultural contact, and a disputed pottery craft between human colonists and the indigenous Mi-Tuun people on planet Firsk. Miles M. Acheson provides "The Apprentice." The editor publishes L. Ron Hubbard's article "Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science," presenting a mental therapy technique claimed to produce rapid psychological improvements, and discusses the scientific method's application to dianetics. An editorial article addresses "Intellectual Hobson-Jobsonism." The magazine also includes Charles Atlas bodybuilding advertisements typical of the period.
