Abstract
MR. ACKERMANN is the author of a successful book on popular fallacies, now in its third edition. Early in 1925 he was engaged by the British Broadcasting Company to give a series of talks on popular fallacies connected with engineering and science. Listeners were invited to send such paradoxes to the speaker, and the pick of the matter received by him has been collected into the volume now noticed. Some of the problems, which seem trivial to a mind versed in science, are yet a source of constant perplexity to the general public.
