Abstract
IN the interval since pre-war text-books were written many advances in science have been made. New materials (for example, plastics and penicillin) have become widely available, new processes have established themselves and there has been marked progress in our knowledge of fundamental principles. Writers of elementary text-books are now faced with the problem of incorporating this new information into their books, which must at the same time have regard to examination requirements at the end of the school certificate and higher school certificate courses. These two books are both very suitable for school use and should prove popular among science masters and their pupils.
