Abstract
THE applications of photography to general science and industry have now become so numerous that few people, even among those who use photography in their daily work, have any idea of the vast variety of its possibilities. For many years Mr. Thorne Baker has been associated with photographic inventors and their work; moreover, he can write a good story about things he has met with in his wide experience. In this exuberant book he gives a short survey of most of the outstanding applications of photography. Profusely illustrated with good halftone plates, it provides a very interesting, though necessarily very brief, account of the subject.
