Excerpt from Science Remakes Our World
It is, I think, obvious that the preparation of a book covering as many branches of science as this requires information obtained from many sources. Technical books, papers in scientific journals, official releases from industries and from the meetings of various societies, private correspondence to all these the author went for material. Particularly do I wish to express my indebtedness to Laurence A. Hawkins, executive engineer of the General Electric Research Laboratory, for his help and suggestions, and to Joseph L. Smith and Helena A. Stalnacke, of Ives Washburn, Inc., for their skillful attention to the many technical details involved in bringing this book to completion. And among others who helped in many ways for example, by furnishing data or by checking the text I desire to thank the following: C. R. Addinall, Merck and Co.; Frank Benford, G. E.
