    Notes: [Auszug] IT is regarded at least as important to be able to sell an article as to make it: indeed the salesmen are more highly remunerated than the technical workers. Whilst personality is the greatest asset for a salesman, there is growing up a science of salesmanship and management which is evidenced by ...

    Notes: [Auszug] IT is not often that one branch of applied science reacts so unfavourably on another branch, and the difficulties which have arisen from the interference from power circuits and apparatus in the prevailing types of radio-receivers were scarcely anticipated. The problem assumed international ...

    Notes: [Auszug] APRACTICAL book in animal biology for use in schools, of a simpler nature than that used by first-year university students, is assured of a welcome. Mr. Green has combined a study of living animal types with investigation of their morphology. Shorter sections deal with chordate embryology, ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THIS memoir deals with North American paper-making wasps of the subfamily Vespinae. It is divided into four sections: an introduction, a morphological section, a systematic section and a biological section. The morphology is concerned with the skeletal and muscular systems of Vespula pennsylvanica. ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE popularity of this book is explained by the way in which the authors have succeeded in combining clarity with brevity. The treatment of fundamentals is, however, a little superficial in some respects. In the new chapter on plastic deformation, for example, no hint is given that metallic ...
