THE NEW SCIENCE SERIES 



ONE of the most significant developments in our 

 life today is that as scientific knowledge almost 

 daily advances, educated people become more 

 and more ignorant of it. Scientists for the most part 

 write for each other, and the general reader is forced 

 to resort to "popularizers" of science. What appar- 

 ently is forgotten is that many of the greatest scien- 

 tists 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 offer- 

 ing 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 some- 

 thing of what it is all about.
