Watson, Jane Werner
The World of Science: Scientists at Work Today in Many Challenging Fields
A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 216 pages. 8 1/8" w x 11 1/4" h. A bit musty smelling. Small tears, edge wear, and peeling laminate on price-clipped dust jacket. 265 color photographs and diagrams. Wonderful 1950's ultra-modern graphics in bright colors. "This remarkable book tells the activities of scientists working today in seven major fields: geology, astronomy, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. It is not a survey of the history and achievements of science, but rather an exciting look-over-the-shoulder at the men, in laboratories and in the field, who are making tomorrow's world."
