BOOK REVIEWS 



"The Book of the National Parks," by 

 Robert Sterling Yard. Charles Scribner's 

 Sons, New York. Price, $3.00. The author 

 of this book possesses all the attributes 

 necessary to contribute to the success of 

 such a work, being an official in the Depart- 

 ment of the Interior and so thoroughly in- 

 formed on his subject, as well as a writer 

 of note and an enthusiastic lover of the 

 out of doors. His book is a valuable con- 

 tribution to the slowly growing literature 

 on our national park system. It will fill a 

 long-felt want, carrying, as it does, in in- 

 teresting fashion, an account of the histori- 

 cal, scenic, geologic and recreational fea- 

 tures of the parks ; and treating in a popu- 

 lar way the geologic and other scientific 

 features. It is well illustrated and has 15 

 maps and diagrams. 



"Timber: Its Strength, Seasoning and 

 Grading," by Harold S. Belts. McGraw- 

 Hill Book Company, New York. Price, 

 $3.00. The preface states that this book 

 is intended primarily for engineers, manu- 

 facturers and users of lumber and of vari- 

 ous special classes of wood material, and 

 students of engineering and forestry. Much 

 technical information in readily accessible 

 form is available regarding almost every 

 class of structural material with the excep- 

 tion of wood, and this book will in large 

 measure supply this deficiency.
