 Why has science accomplished more
 in the nineteenth century than in all

 for it traces mans progress from cave

 shows how progress has been accelera-
 ted as the electric current ana the pho

 sources and insights of mankind Yet
 more, the latest achievements of science
 throw light upon mans first upward
 steps, and explain why an impossible
 gulf now yawns between mankind and
 it's next of kin This admirable volume has one hundred illustrations, including
 two insets in color and portraits or
 leading scientists and inventors.
