The article focuses on the book "The Nature of the World and Man." The stated purpose of this collaborative book is to present an outline of knowledge of the physical and biological world, and to show the position of man in the universe in which he lives. Again it aims to assist the individual in the very important problem of forming well-defined conceptions of the cosmos and of his relation to it. The present volume, which will be followed by a similar one on the social sciences, surveys somewhat speculatively from astronomy to the origin and early stages of the earth, from geology the forms of energy and chemistry to the nature and origin of life.
