* . . three outstanding texts

Allee, Emerson, 0. Park, T. Park and Schmidt on

0 Animal EcologyThis clearly written book is without any question the definitive work in the field. Drawing fromthe related sciences of physiology, plant ecology, physics, marine biology, etc. the authors coverthe science of the relationships between living organisms and their environment with a thorough-ness never before achieved. It is a work that is indispensable to teachers and students in ecol-ogy courses.

By W. C. ALLEE, Professor of Zoology Emeritus, University of Chicago; Professor of Biology, University of Florida; ALFRED E.EMERSON, Professor of Zoology, University of Chicago; ORLANDo PARK, Professor of Zoology, Northwestern University; THOMASPARK, Professor of Zoology, University of Chicago; and KARL P. SCHMIDT, Chief Curator of Zoology, Chicago Natural HistoryMuseum. 837 pages. 6/2" x 9¼2", with 263 illustrations. $14.00.

Prosser, Brown, Bishop, Jahn and Wulff on

0 Animal PhvsiologyHere is a comparative study of the physiological and biochemical characteristics of animals. Itis an attempt fo clarify the evolutionary relationships of various kinds of animals and to describethe diverse ways in which they meet their functional and environmental requirements. The ma-terial is arranged on a functional rather than on a phylogenetic basis.From the Journal of the American Medical Association: "The best book of its kind in the Englishlanguage."

Edited by C. LADD PROSSER. By FRANK A. BROWN, JR. Professor of Biology, Northwestern University; DAVID W. BiSHOP, Professorof Physiology, University of Massachusetts; THEODORE L. JAHN, Professor of Zoology, University of California at Los Angeles;C. LADD PROSSER, Professor of Physiology, University of Illinois; and VERNER J. WULFF, Professor of Zoology, Syracuse University.888 pages, 6" x 9Y8", with 312 illustrations. $13.00.

* New (2nd) Edition . . . Gardner's NeurologyThe continuing popularity of this book is due to the clear way in which the author presents theprinciples of neurology before attempting to explain details. In the New (2nd) Edition newknowledge of basic concepts in nerve conduction, motor pathways and the cerebral cortex hasreceived special attention.

Efficient arrangement is made possible by compact design of Beckman DUFlame Spectrophotometer (complete unit shown).

Why Beckman Spectrophotometers arePREFERRED

Small Samples-only 1 to 3 ml. ofsample solution needed per analysis.Low Fuel Consumption-about 8 cu.ft. of Oxygen per hour and S cu.ft./hr. of acetylene or 20 cu. ft./hr.of hydrogen.Aqueous or Nonaqueous Solutions-even combustible solvents may beused.Wide Spectral Range-220 to 1,100millimicrons with high resolvingpower for quantitative determina-tions of more than 40 elements.

High Accuracy-Wavelength settingsreproducible in ultraviolet to 0.05

. . in infrared to 0.5 millimicrons.Economical-Low initial cost, low op-erating cost; highly trained technicalpersonnel are not required.Automatic Sample Positioner-Protectsoperator, is fast, convenient, pre-cise. Atomizer-burner, sample posi-tioning device, focusing mirror andadjustments all unitized into onecompact housing. All necessaryregulators and gauges are conven-iently mounted on panel.

Adventurers

in Research..

Dr. Clinton R. HannaSCIENTIST-INVENTOR

His gun stabilizer revolutionized tank combatduring World War II. He enrolled inWestinghouse Graduate Student Course rightafter graduation from Purdue University in1922. He advanced rapidly to head of Devel-opment Division in 1930, manager of Electro-mechanics Department i}> 1937, and AssociateDirector of the Research Laboratories, hispresent position, in 1944.

Where human muscles and reflexes aren't quite upto the job, the electromechanical regulator can doit many times faster and more accurately. Proofof that is in the career of Dr. Clinton R. Hanna,who has developed a whole family of these devicesin his 30 years with Westinghouse. It was hisgyroscope-controlled gun stabilizer that duringWorld War II enabled Allied tanks to fire accu-rately even when traveling over rough terrain, andhelped swing the tide of battle against the enemyin Africa. When heavy seas sent ship-based radarantennas bobbing erratically, Dr. Hanna designeda system for stabilizing them in the roughestweather.The soft-spoken, 51-year-old Westinghouse sci-

entist has some 100 patents to his credit in thefield of regulators. One of his earliest was adevice for controlling the speed of steel mill rollermotors. Strangely enough, it was this device whichled a visiting Army officer to wonder if the sameprinciple could be applied to stabilizing tank guns.

Dr. Hanna thought it could and proceeded toprove it.

Quiet and methodical, the Westinghouse scien-tist likes to probe for new and difficult applica-tions in his field, isn't swerved by the failure ofprevious searchers. to come up with the rightanswers.

Dr. Hanna's latest achievement is the devel-opment of an- automatic pilot with unlimitedmaneuverability.

These are but a few of the high lights in thecareer of "Clint" Hanna, adventurer in research.The larger picture should certainly include manyother contributions, mainly those that have aidedin the improvement of numerous Westinghouseproducts that feature electrical control and regu-lation. They make it abundantly clear that it isthe know-how and experience of scientists likeDr. Hanna which are the cornerstone of industrialprogress.
