In 1920, the average person was just becoming aware of the modern
age of science and invention. Scientists were discovering new
physical laws, new information about the universe, and new
information about the human body. It was the beginning of an
explosion of research that continues 100 years later. Collier's
Wonder Book: 1920 Edition is a reprint of a collection of articles,
photographs, and diagrams published by P. F. Collier and Son
Company to explain the latest scientific information in simplified
ways. Topics included: airplanes, railroading, automobiles, ships,
zeppelins, communications, atomic energy, paranormal topics, sea
exploration, machines and tools, radio, wireless communication,
welding, astronomy, clouds, blood crystals, volcanoes and natural
phenomena, weather, physics, rockets, simian communication, plant
and animal life, psychology, cipher decoding, engineering, bridges,
spiritualism, ouija boards, firefighting, animals in the movies,
and many other topics. Some of the information is ahead of its
time. Other articles seem quaint and misguided. A few articles are
surprisingly prophetic. All are interesting reading and give us a
picture of the early 20th century and its fascination with
scientific discovery.
