Abstract
THE annual report of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Commonwealth of Australia, has now been supplemented by a more concise and popular illustrated account (Melbourne: Gov. Printer). Written by Mr. G. Lightfoot, consultant, and former secretary to the Council, with a foreword by Mr. J. J. Dedman, the Minister in Charge, it gives a lucid account of the establishment and development of the Council and of the work carried out during 1945 by the various divisions, illustrating particularly the way in which scientific research can assist the further utilization of Australian resources and the development of its industries: The Council and the author are to be congratulated on the high standard of production and exposition in this brochure, which is admirably designed for the educational purposes it is intended to serve.
