Abstract
THE introduction of radar and the widespread development of radio wave technique during the past ten years have resulted in a considerable addition to our knowledge and experience, the records of which were confined during the war years to confidential and secret reports. Much of this information has recently been published in the form of scientific and technical papers in the proceedings of societies and institutions. There is clearly a need in addition, however, for a more compact form of publication in which the information on various aspects of the subject is collected together in separate volumes or books. It is therefore gratifying to note the proposal by the Cambridge University Press to publish a new series of monographs under the editorship of Mr. J. A. Ratcliffe and dealing with the advances in radio technique made during the War. All the monographs are being prepared by men who were personally responsible for important advances in the subjects they write about ; two volumes have already been published, and some six more are in active preparation.
