Illustrated feature on sale soon

“Frontiers of Science,” the illustrated feature which has appeared in “The Press” five days a week for nearly 10 years, is now being published in book form and will be on sale at "The Pres?” office soon.

The first volume, “The Universe and Life,” contains a selection of strips dealing with the origins of the solar system, the universe, and life itself; the second volume a selection dealing with the world of the atom and the nucleus. Subsequent volumes now in preparation are concerned with human biology and medical sciences. Each book contains 30 complete strips—a total of about 550 separate drawings each with its own detailed caption. Each of the strips is discussed in an introduction of about 200 words. The result is a volume which is easy for the layman and the young student to read and assimilate. It should help to bridge the "communication gap” between the scientist and the citizen.

Widely published by newspapers in Australia and New Zealand, “Frontiers of Science” is directed to the interests and needs of pupils

taking junior science courses at secondary schools. Written jointly by Professor S. T. Butler, Dean of the Science Faculty at Sydney University and an authority on nuclear physics, and by Robert Raymond, a documentary film producer and former Fleet Street journalist, it is published by the Pulsar Press, Sydney. Each of the first two volumes will cost $1.75.
