Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive.We are republishing many of these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
The aim of this book is to give a general idea of the way in which
Modern Science looks out on the world. By selecting a few salient
illustrations, it seeks to show how the various sciences are
disclosing the Order of Nature. It is hoped that it may be of
service to the able minded reader who wishes an introduction of an
informal type to the chief scientific problems of today. The book
is meant to be suggestive as well as informative; and two
characteristic features may be noted, for they are deliberate: the
illustrations of scientific progress that have been selected are
taken from all the great orders of facts - from astronomy to
anthropology; and they deal not with easy things, but with the big
problems that matter most.
