The Fascination of Things Inanimate

Abstract

A NEW edition of Lowry's “Inorganic Chemistry” is a welcome event, especially since the author, taking advantage of the necessity to reset the text, has materially altered and improved its structure so as to take full account of many developments in chemistry during the last ten years. He evidently believes that anything which is really true is amenable to simple explanation, if we will but take the trouble, and a commendable feature of his book, a direct outcome of clear thought and plain words, is that it presents satisfactorily many matters which are new or are commonly regarded as difficult.

Inorganic Chemistry.

By Prof. T. Martin Lowry. Second edition. Pp. xiv + 1101. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1931.) 25s. net.
