Abstract
THE essays which Sir James Marchant has collected in this volume under an introduction by Lord Woolton are similar in type and purpose to those articles on applications of science which the British Association commenced to publish last year in The Advancement of Science. Each of its kind is excellent. The essays are practical and non-political, sometimes idealistic rather than realistic, and the technicalities are handled with skill. It is too much to claim that “they form the most authoritative blue-print for our national life yet presented to the public” ; but they represent a most admirable attempt to interpret to the general reader some of the recent developments and trends in applied science and their bearing on, and potentialities for, the problems that confront us in post-war reconstruction. Post-War Britain Edited by Sir James Marchant. Pp. xv + 240 + 8 plates. (London: Eyre and Spottiswoode (Publishers), Ltd., 1945.) 12s. 6d. net.
