Royal octavo, hardcover (illustrated orange cloth), gilt illus. to upper cover, 600 pp. Very Good, with light rubbing to covers. With special section at start entitled "National Defense," in deference to the start of World War II. From Preface: This book is presented to those, both young and old, who wish to have a non-technical… account of the history, evolution, and production of some of the every day wonders of the modern industrial age; coupled with occasional glimpses of the wonderful object lessons afforded by nature in her constructive activities in the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms; and simple, understandable answers to the myriad puzzling questions arising daily in the minds of those for whom the fascination of the "Why" and "How" is always engrossing. Although not intended primarily as a children's book, the interest-compelling pictures and clear, illuminating answers to the constant avalanche of questions suggested by the growing mind, unite in making far happier children in the home and brighter children at school. Parents and teachers will also recognize the opportunity to watch for subjects by which the child's interest appears to be more than ordinarily attracted, and in so doing, will e enabled to guide the newly-formed tendencies into the proper channels. With the greatest thinkers of the age advocating vocational training, and leading educators everywhere pointing out that the foundation of a practical education for life must be laid in the home, thoughtful parents will not overlook the fact that a book which both entertains and instructs is of supreme importance in the equipment of their children. In the preparation of this book its function has been considered as that of gathering up some of the multitudinous bits of information of interest, both to the inquiring child and the older reader, and putting them in shape to be digested by the ordinary searcher after knowledge. The book is intended, not for a few technical specialists, but for the larger number of men, women, and children who are not interested in exhaustive treatises, but who are seeking to gain some fair idea about the numberless every-day subjects that arise in ordinary conversation, or that they meet with in reading and about which they desire some definite and satisfactory information.
