      The Sciences

      Our Book Corner, August 1941

      THE BOOK DEPARTMENT of Scientific American is conducted, with the co-operation of the Editors, to make available for you a comprehensive book service. Each month the Editors select and review in these columns new books in a wide range of scientific and technical fields. In addition, they are ready at all times to advise you regarding the best available books on any subject. You are invited to use this service freely. Tell our Book Department what kind of books you want and you will be furnished with a list of available titles, including prices . When inquiring about books, please be specific; remember that we can be of the greatest help only when you tell us just what you are looking for.
