Abstract
A GREAT deal of the results of research on technical problems remains in the form of papers in scientific and technical journals, not always easily accessible. A text-book which brings together the salient features of such specialized work can, therefore, be of great value, but the difficulties in writing such a book are numerous. In the first place, it may date quickly; secondly, a choice must be made as to whether the book is to appeal to those already specialists in the subject, or to those who have only a passing acquaintance with it. In either case the principal value of the book will lie in making a specific contribution to the subject by tying together as many loose ends as possible and getting the whole subject into correct perspective.
