Machinery; Machinery in the workplace
“His provocative book.”—_Graphic._ “Written in a style of deliberate
brilliance.”—_Times Literary Supplement._ “As outspoken and unequivocal
a contribution as could well be imagined. Even those readers who
dissent will be forced to recognize the admirable clarity with which he
states his case. A book that will startle.”—_Daily Chronicle._
=The Passing of the Phantoms=: a Study of Evolutionary Psychology and
Morals. By C. J. PATTEN, Professor of Anatomy, Sheffield University.
With 4 Plates.
“Readers of _Daedalus_, _Icarus_ and _Tantalus_, will be grateful for
an excellent presentation of yet another point of view.”—_Yorkshire
Post._ “This bright and bracing little book.”— _Literary Guide._
“Interesting and original.”—_Medical Times._
=The Mongol in our Midst=: a Study of Man and his Three Faces. By
F. G. CROOKSHANK, M.D., F.R.C.P. With 28 Plates. _Second Edition,
revised._
“A brilliant piece of speculative induction.”—_Saturday Review._
“An extremely interesting and suggestive book, which will reward
careful reading.”—_Sunday Times._ “The pictures carry fearful
conviction.”—_Daily Herald._
=The Conquest of Cancer.= By H. W. S. WRIGHT, M.S., F.R.C.S.
Introduction by F. G. CROOKSHANK, M.D.
“Eminently suitable for general reading. The problem is fairly and
lucidly presented. One merit of Mr. Wright’s plan is that he tells
people what, in his judgment, they can best do, _here and now_.”—From
the _Introduction_.
=Pygmalion=, or the Doctor of the Future. By R. MCNAIR WILSON, M.D.
“Dr Wilson has added a brilliant essay to this series.”—_Times Literary
Supplement._ “This is a very little book, but there is much wisdom in
it.”—_Evening Standard._ “No doctor worth his salt would venture to say
that Dr Wilson was wrong.”—_Daily Herald._
=Prometheus=, or Biology and the Advancement of Man. By H. S.
JENNINGS, Professor of Zoology, Johns Hopkins University.
“This volume is one of the most remarkable that has yet appeared in
this series. Certainly the information it contains will be due to
most educated laymen. It is essentially a discussion of ... heredity
and environment, and it clearly establishes the fact that the current
use of these terms has no scientific justification.”—_Times Literary
Supplement._ “An exceedingly brilliant book.”—_New Leader._
=Narcissus=: an Anatomy of Clothes. By GERALD HEARD. With 19
illustrations.
“A most suggestive book.”—_Nation._ “Irresistible. Reading it is
like a switchback journey. Starting from prehistoric times we
rocket down the ages.”—_Daily News._ “Interesting, provocative, and
entertaining.”—_Queen._
=Thamyris=, or Is There a Future for Poetry? By R. C. TREVELYAN.
“Learned, sensible, and very well-written.”—_Affable Hawk_, in _New
Statesman_. “Very suggestive.”—_J. C. Squire_, in _Observer_. “A very
charming piece of work. I agree with all, or at any rate, almost all
its conclusions.”—_J. St. Loe Strachey_, in _Spectator_.
