Here is a revision of a successful text for college students. Some minor changes in arrange-

ment have been made and new material added. In simple but technical style, the authors pre-

sent the fundamental concepts of physical geology and give the student a scientific view of theprocesses that operate on and in the earth. There is new emphasis on the interpretation oflandscape and geologic structure as seen from the air, with many new aerial photographs.

ELEMENTS OF GEOGRAPHY. Physical and Cultural. New 3rd editionBy VERNOR C. FINCH and GLENN T. TREWARTHA, University of Wisconsin. McGraw-HillSeries in Geography. In press-ready for fall classes

As before, the authors treat physical geography as an analysis of the resource base for nationsand peoples. This stressing of forms rather than processes gives the student a better conceptof physical geography as the science which deals with the potentialities of the physical earthfor human use. The book has been carefully revised in the light of recent developments. PartI, Physical Elements of Geography will be available in a separately published volume.

ESSENTIALS OF GEOGRAPHYBy OTIS W. FREEMAN, Eastern Washington College of Education, and H. F. RAUP, KentState University. McGraw-Hill Series in Geography. In press-ready for fall classes

Describes the principal physical aspects of the earth as a planet, and the varied environmentswhich provide for the habitat of man. Different human economies and their relationships tothe principal natural environments comprise a large portion of the book. In addition, the cul-tural aspects of some phases of human existence have been included, such as political geographi-cal settlements, urban life, etc.

PLANT AND SOIL WATER RELATIONSHIPSBy PAUL J. KRAMER, Duke University. McGraw-Hill Publications in the BotanicalSciences. In press-read for fall classes

Gives an integrated discussion of the various factors which affect the absorption of water byplants. These factors include the availability of soil moisture, the development of efficient rootsystems, the nature of the absorption process, the relation between the absorption of water andthe absorption of minerals, and the relation between water absorption and other plant processes.The fundamental scientific principles are explained as simply at possible, and many applica-tions of these principles are described.

AN INTRODUCTION TO VERTEBRATE EMBRYOLOGY. New second editionBY H. L. WIEMAN, University of Cincinnati. McGraw-Hill Publications in the Zoological

Sciences. In press-ready for fall classesThis is a revision of a college text which is noted for its sound and somewhat rigorous treatmentof the development of selected vertebrates. The treatment assumes that the chick and pigembryos are the principal forms studied in the laboratory, but the treatment is not limited tothese forms. Some work on the embryology of Amphioxus and the frog is included withoutcurtailing the work on the embryology of the mammal.

COOPERATIVEEXTENSION WORK

by Lincoln D. Kelsey(Professor in Extension Service,

Cornell University)

and Cannon C. Hearne(in charge of Personnel Training Section, Divisionof Field Studies and Training, Extension Service,

U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.)

COOPERATIVE EXTENSION WORKdeals specifically with the history and organi-zation of the Extension Service and describesthe working procedures by means of whichan extension program succeeds. The bookshows how typical successful programs invarious states have been developed, and itevaluates the tools of the extension worker-press, radio, letters, publications, photogra-phy and visual aids, group methods, confer-ences and personal contacts. Throughoutthe book the teaching function of extensionwork is emphasized and every activity is re-garded in terms of its educational value.Men and women preparing for extension

work, those already in the Service, leadersin related agencies and organizations, andforeign workers interested in our extensionprogram will find it of the utmost help.

THE VACUUM: Although the vacuum wvas littlemore than a scientific curiosity for ages. dur-ing the past two decades the art of producingand maintaining high vacuums has become anindustrial process of great importance. Torealize this, you need only consider the radioindustry; it depends for its very existence onthe use of vacuum processes in turning out theextremely diversified range of electron tubes-from the little ones used in yoior radio re-ceiving set to the mighty 100-kilowatt tubesused by the large broadcasting stations. Allof these must be evacuated to the highestdegree obtainable.

STANDARDS: The terms "standards" and"standardization" have broad meanings andhave a general application, so that we come incontact with some form of standards almost(laily in our personal activities as well as ourbusiness. One place where we frequently hearof standardization is in connection with massproduction. The production of goods in largequantities makes it important that the prod-uets and parts be readily interchangeable.Experience has shown that one of the mosteffective ways of bringing this about is throughstandardization.

In general, standards are good because theyaid in the simplification of manufacture, con-serve material and labor, help to attain lowestcost, increase output per unit of floor space,shorten production time, reduce inventory.Standards also promote a clearer understand-ing between buyers and sellers, and a wholegroup of standards promotes safety to em-ployees of manufacturing companies and tothe public. . . . Practically all standards con-tribute in one way or another to a lower costof doing business. I think we might say that

we pay for standards whether we use them ornot, because we forego savings when we failto use them.

*I. F. KINNARDManager of Engineering,Meter & Instrument Divisions

CLRRENT TRANSFORMERS: During more than50 vears of continuous manufacture, it has beenalmost universal practice to insulate dry-typeinstrument transformers by wrapping a fibrousmaterial-commonlv varnished cambric orcrepe paper-aroundl the transformer coils andthen impregnating this matrix with asphaltor a similar insulating compound. In many de-signs as much as one-quarter mile of crepepaper has been wrapped on the coils for properinsulation. Because of the complex configura-tion of the coils, most of this wrapping hasbeen done by hand. It has, therefore, longbeen the goal of instrument-transformer engi-neers to develop a method of molding or castingan insulating material around the transformercore and coils, thus eliminating the necessityfor hand wrapping.

After considerable experimentation such amethod, as well as a material suitable for usewith the method, has been developed throughthe joint efforts of several divisions within theGeneral Electric Company. The result is . . .

a transformer of unit construction, with all thecomponent parts firmly molded together in acontinuous casing of butyl. . . . Its perform-ance characteristics represent a distinct im-provement over older designs of transformersand are due in large measure to the excellentproperties of butyl and to the new concept ofmolded transformer insulation.

an ACCURATE Blood Countis Worth Taking

To aid in correct diagnosis and propertreatment of patients, a blood countmust be accurate. That is why mosttechnicians follow accepted tech-niques with utmost care . .. why they use onlythe finest equipment . .. why the majority choosethe famous Spencer "Bright-Line" Haemacytometer.

BRIGHT-LINE Chambers offer*~ these 6 Safeguards to Accuracy

GREATER CONTRAST BETWEEN CELLS AND BACKGROUNDCells appear dark, lines bright, background gray. Each cell is easilycounted -even those which overlap lines.

MORE EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF CELLSSurface tension differences between metalized surfaceof chamber and glass surface of cover cause cells todistribute more evenly and chamber to fill morereadily.

SIMULTANEOUS RESOLUTION OF BLOODCELLS AND RULINGS

It is not necessary to stop down the condenser of yourmicroscope since blood cells and rulings can be clearlyresolved at full diaphragm opening.

METALIZED BACKGROUND ELIMINATES GLAREAbsence of glare provides clearer vision and reduceseyestrain.

INDENTATION OF UNDERSIDE PROLONGS USEFUL LIFEIntroduction of a slight concavity directly under rulings preventsscratches appearing on lower surface of chamber. Such scratchesimpair counting accuracy.
