informative book, "The Sea

award for her poetry. January

As in all the Galsworthy and
Miss du Maurier has written du Maurier books, the reader finds
velops a major theme for pas
sionate honesty and profound
feeling. Mr. Jones has given us a
directly experienced and yet
imaginative recreation or parti
cular social circumstances that
transcends the merely documen
tary." The Sea Around Us" was
judged as a book "of scientific
accuracy presented with poetic
imagination and ruch clarity of
style and originality of approach
as to win and hold every reader's
attention." .

National Book Awards.
Miss Moore, author of "Collect
ed Poems" was spcken of by the
judges as being "one of the few
true inventors of poetry in our
time. There is no end to the re
sources of this book which will
delight many people who do not
ordinarily like poetry."
Last year's National Book
Award winners were William

Stories of William Faulkner;"
Newton Arvin for his biography

In "Essay"
"Essay In Physics" by Herbert
L Samuel, 1952. Harcourt, Brace
. And Company, New York. $3.00,
178 -pp.
Usually, most of the readers of
science-fiction are also interested
in the program of science and the
new theories developed alonj
scientific lines. For those who de
mand that their space friends be
geometrically and scientifically
perfect we decided that review
on "lissay On Physics' would be
a fitting book. -
"Essay On Physics (including
a letter from Dr. Albert Einstein)
is certainly not science-fiction, but
it deals with aspects of Space
time, medium of transmission of
radiation, the mechanism of grav
ity, the creation of particles, and
the theory of an expanding uni
verse. For those of you who would
like to acquaint yourselves with
physics and its theories have no
fears about "Essay In Physics"
being written in any other terms
but for the layman. Otherwise
this reviewer would hav2 been in
the same boat as most of us when
we ask a MIT professor to explain
in exact description a cybernetics
machine.
The -letter from Dr. Einstein is
a refutation of the . parts of this
book with which he disagrees.
, s The theories presented in "Es
says In Physics" are exactly as
the lettering on the jacket says
. "A new conception of the uni
verse." J JR.

Serving tea, looking over the es

Tjhey tried to fool him with the "quick-trick
cigarette mildness tests but he wouldn't go astray!
We know as well as he there's only one fair way to
test cigarette mildness. And millions of smokers agree!
It's the sensible test, ..the 30-Day Camel
kindness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels
as your steady smoke, on a day-after-day,
pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments. Once
you've tried Camels for 30 days in your T-Zone
(T for ThroatT for Taste), you'll see why...
