Abstract

Edited by W. G. Marley and K. Z. Morgan Oxford : Pergamon Press Ltd. Pp. x + 602. Price £5 5s. The conference is an activity to which Professor C. Northcote Parkinson might usefully direct his quizzical scrutiny. The early gatherings of the Royal Society and the Victorian assemblies of the British Association served the cause of science very well, but recent developments have included many absurdities, culminating in the 1958 United Nations conference on the peaceful uses of atomic energy.
