Abstract
ON May 16, 17 and 18 of last year a significant gathering of men of science and leaders in the worlds of education and industry met at Pittsburgh to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Westinghouse, one of America's most renowned inventors and industrialists. Twenty-four prominent men in the field of science and technology were invited to participate in a notable symposium which summarized a great deal of our current scientific knowledge and pointed the way towards future research and development. A verbatim transcription of the addresses given on this occasion, together with illustrations including photographs of all the speakers, have been collected to make the three volumes reviewed here. As is to be expected, there is a wide variety of style, treatment and informative content in the different discourses.
