About This Item
New York: Macmillan Company, 1930. hardcover. Book VG- : offset/shadow to front board, mild shelf wear to boards and spine, spine sunned, toning to endpapers, name on endpaper./no DJ. 8vo 514pp. from Preface: "The vast and imposing structure of modern science is perhaps the greatest triumph of the human mind. But the story of its origin, its development and its achievements is one of the least known parts of history, and has hardly yet found its way into general literature. Historians treat of war, of politics, of economics; but of the growth of those activities which have revealed the individual atom and opened to our vision the depths of space, which have revolutionized philosophic thought and given us the means of advancing our material welfare to a level beyond the dreams of former ages, most of them tell us little or nothing." #01654.
