Abstract
A MOST pleasantly written book that discusses such questions as the origin, criteria and control of life in a manner making the story of what the biologist has done and is doing in that particular field readily intelligible to the educated lay reader. The United States is to be envied in having endowments permitting public lectures of this quality to be published in book form.
The Nature of Life.
By Prof. W. J. V. Osterhout. (Brown University: The Colver Lectures, 1922.) Pp. vii + 117. (New York: Henry Holt and Co., 1924.) 1.50 dollars.
