Blue cloth with gilt decoration and lettering. 'Technical' implied usefulness, useful now in maintaining and developing our civilization in the light of scientific research and experience in the past. All technology must be based on science, which means experiement, observation and record, and it is increasingly dependent on new ideas and a new grade of precision in working them out in practice, and a great deal depends on precision of language. Although the entries in this Pocket Encyclopaedia have been large based on Hutchinson's four-volume Technical and Scientific Encyclopaedia (1936) and their Twentieth Century Encyclopaedia (1948), there has been no hesitation about making necessary amendments. With no claim to finality or completeness, one can here give but a hint or suggestion, not a thesis or disquisition on a matter of doubt in a person's mind; the short answer, which is the feature of this book, often suffices, more dealt may often confuse. 182 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
