ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION, Its Properties, Production, Measurement and Applications.
6 x 9, 12 plates, 270 pages $3.50
It is the primary aim of this book to present authentic data of such scope as to be useful to the chemist, physicist, engineer, biologist, ophthalmologist and physician and others interested in ultraviolet radiation. Theory has been subordinated to experimental facts because the latter are not affected by the inevitable changes in theory. Much of the literature on this subject is confusing because of the lack of care in the choice of definitions and of limited value resulting from carelessness in specifying important factors. From this mass of isolated material the author has coördinated much valuable data. The many references which are included increase the usefulness of the book.
