[4368 " A STRONAUTICS in the Sixties," A survey of current "• technology and future development. By Kenneth W. Gatland, FRAS, FBIS, ARAES. After discussing the technical problems of rocket propulsion and the various new and specialized techniques it has engendered, the author describes in detail various types of space-vehicles, some of which have been designed for pure research and exploration into space, and others for communication, navigation, weather forecasting and aerial surveying. Other chapters cover such subjects as the military uses of space, robot explorers, the first men in space, men on the moon, and the decades beyond. The author is a founder member of the British Interplanetary Society as reconstituted after World War II and was elected Vice- President in 1957; his already excellent text is further enhanced by the 60 pages of carefully selected plates and the three dimensional line-drawings. "Astronautics in the Sixties" is a serious factual approach to extra- terrestrial exploration, but it is so lucidly written that it can be read not only by technicians, but by all interested in scientific progress. 47s. 6d. net from all booksellers.

The author, who at one time was European Manager of the New York Times, spends six months of each year touring on the Continent of Europe, and in consequence has a unique knowledge of his subject. In this book he explains how to avoid the congested routes, either when travelling to known tourist attractions or in seeking the lesser-known beauty spots and places of interest. After a chapter on plans and pre- parations, all the main countries of central Europe are visited. France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. There are also chapters on mountaineering by car; and highways to hobbies. The text is supported by clearly drawn maps, including those covering the best approach routes to various countries, and mountain passes. The author gives first-hand Information on condition of roads, hotels to visit and places and things to see. 17s. 6d. net from all booksellers.

Most engineers have made use of nomograms at some time in their careers, and are fully alive to the fact that they are a convenient tool when the same formulae have to be solved repeatedly for several sets of variables. It is fair to say, however, that only a small proportion of even those who habitually employ nomograms know how to construct them for their own use. Most of the comparatively small literature on the subject is written for mathematicians and is extremely difficult for the practical engineer to compre- hend. This book is essentially practical, and not only demonstrates the many and varied applications of the abac or nomogram, but shows how even those without highly specialized mathematical knowledge may construct their own charts. 35s. net from all booksellers.

It first considers such matters as design, metals, fuels and some of the mathematics relating to them, and then covers the entire subject of "strip and rebuild," assuming the reader to be overhauling a fast machine; every part is dealt with in detail. Finally there are hints on the sport of racing. 8s. 6d. net from all booksellers. By post 9s. 3d. from Iliffe Books Ltd., Dorset House, Stam- ford Street, London, S.E.I. "•C"ILMING with 16mm." By Denys Davis. This ' book on the increasingly popular subject of film- making describes the complete process from initial conception to final presentation. The author is an experienced amateur with a solid backing of professional work behind him. He describes each stage of production in detail, and covers the techniques of filming under varying conditions, editing, sound and special effects. The choice of film, the camera and accessories and studio equipment are also discussed. The book contains a comprehensive glossary of technical terms and is illustrated with a large number of stills mostly obtained from specialist 16mm units. Although primarily written for users of 16mm. it has much valuable information for all who are interested in cine films. 25s. net from all book- sellers.
