Prof. W. H. Hutt's book, "A Study of Competition and Opinion," is a critical examination of economic and social theories. Hutt critiques many prominent economists and thinkers, including Pigou, Keynes, and Russell, with sharp and precise arguments. The book is not merely destructive but also stimulating, offering sound arguments for a competitive system and exploring how scientific thought can influence society and policy. It addresses topics such as the influence of custom on thought, the corruption of opinion, and the independence of university teaching. The book is clear, engaging, and has implications beyond economics, appealing to all who value reason. It is recommended for scientists considering the social consequences of their work. " The Book of the Aeroplane" by Capt. J. Laurence Pritchard is a concise yet comprehensive guide to aeroplanes. It explains technical aspects like wing pressure distribution and flight mechanics, and covers topics such as high altitude and long-range flight. The third edition, published in 1935, includes information up to Miss Jean Batten's flight. While the book is generally well-written, it lacks mention of modern weather forecasting services for aviation. The Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, Vol. 6, includes Peirce's essays on chance, continuity, and love, along with extensive notes and studies. It provides insight into Peirce's philosophical and scientific contributions. " I l nucleo atomico" by Franco Rasetti is an up-to-date Italian summary of radioactivity and wave mechanics, well-illustrated and accessible. It lacks extensive references, unlike English works in the field. " Bird Flight" by L. F. B. features 200 photographs of flying birds, offering a visual collection of bird flight. The text is brief and popular, covering evolution, biology, migration, and aerodynamics.Prof. W. H.
