Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Science Remakes Our World
In this book it is the author's aim to tell the story of a few of the more important scientific developments of our day. Obviously it will be necessary to omit much that might have been included; but it is hoped that these chapters will give the reader some idea of typical ways by which, in its many branches, science is remaking our world. Physicists, chemists, biologists, psychologists, men and women in all branches of science have taken part, though perhaps the best-known scientific dis coverers of the past few years have been concerned with chemistry. So, before we start on our explorations, let us get acquainted with some of the Chemist's tools.
