Abstract
THIS book tells the story of electrical communication, and shows how the entire science has been built up on a few fundamental facts. The first chapter tells the story of electricity and magnetism, beginning with Gilbert and ending with Hertz and Marconi. The chapter is well written and General Squier has chosen the names of the world's men of science to whom he pays honour judiciously. Some of the equations given are perhaps too mathematical for many readers-it is not everyone who knows what curl curl H means.
Telling the World.
By Major-General George O. Squier.(A Century of Progress Series.) Pp. xi + 163. (Baltimore, Md.: The Williams and Wilkins Co.; London: Baillière, Tindall and Cox, 1933.) 5s.
