Abstract

THOSE who subscribe to the Daily Worker are privileged to read every week some of the most successful expositions of popular science in contemporary journalism. It is not possible to discuss the implications of this fact in a brief review; but if Prof. Haldane's modesty would permit him to admit that he is both a first-class man of science and a first-class educator, his faith would make him insist that he would be neither were he not a first-class Marxist. This collection of articles is certainly as political as it is scientific, and its author would believe it less scientific if it were less political. Science and Everyday Life By Prof. J. B. S. Haldane. Pp. 284. (London: Lawrence and Wishart, Ltd., 1939.) 5s. net.
