Abstract
MORE than 10 per cent of all the coal mined in Great Britain is used in electric power stations, and the electrical energy produced in these stations is an important factor in determining the standard of living of the population of Great Britain. Books on power stations are scarce, so that the appearance of a new edition of the only up-to-date British publication is a matter of considerable interest and importance.
