Darby, Hugh H. | October 8, 1938 issue

add to cart close window

This article presents information on the book "Science for the Citizen," by Lancelot Hogben. Hogben, in this book, has written of science from out of the depths of his knowledge. According to the author of this article, Hogben's concept of science is so fundamental that many a scientist may read this book with profit. Its history is coextensive with that of civilized living. The impact of science on society and, in turn, of society on science, is continually brought out in this book. Many old facts are put into such new context as to give them modern significance.
