Abstract
A NEW educational venture of great attractiveness is " The Science of Life," an exposition of biology, by Mr. H. G. Wells, Prof. Julian Huxley, and Mr. G. P. Wells, a young physiologist, son of" the senior author. The work aims at doing for biological science what Mr. H. G. Wells did for history in his famous " Outline," giving to the unlearned a vivid presentation of the essential data. It is to try to be " clear, complete, and correct "; and if the triumvirate cannot do this, who can? There is wisdom in having three authors (tres faciunt collegium); for there is always the possibility of a majority when opinions differ.
The Science of Life.
By H. G. Wells Julian Huxley G. P. Wells. To be completed in about 30 fortnightly Parts. Part 1. Pp. 32. (London: The Amalgamated Press, Ltd., 1929.) 1s. 3d. each Part.
