YOUNG READERS
Cameras Work Like This. By Maurice K. Kidd. Phoenix House Ltd. 53 pp. This is so simple, straightforward and well-illustrated an account that, at first glance, it seems to be designed for the very young novice. It starts with the building of the simplest camera out of a square tin with a pin hole to admit light and a flap for a shutter. But the explanations quickly move on to light values in photography; fully-automatic controls; developing and printing; colour negatives, prints and reversals: sophisticated cameras, high-speed flash, aerial work, photomicrography. stereoscopic effects and the mysteries of X and gamma rays. It is such a compendium that it will be valued by the youngest and the oldest members of the family. There are few such books which tell so much, so well and so briefly.
