Abstract
SIMPLE and excellent descriptions are first given of the phenomena which take place when waves are produced in liquids and gases. The author then gives an account of the architecture of atoms as imagined by modern physicists. The Rutherford atom is taken as the standard and the Planck-Bohr method, in which atoms are supposed to radiate energy, is described. The concluding portion of the book is on radio-telephony and will be very helpful to the intelligent amateur.
