Abstract
AMONG the multiplicity of physics text-books to meet all types of students and all standards of examinations, there is little which falls under the heading of ‘Properties of Matter’, other than those of a fairly detailed or advanced type. In the past, a fair part of the subject matter has unfortunately fallen largely between the secondary school and the university. A work which aims at presenting a short and concise course is therefore to be welcomed, and the little book under review is stated by its author to have been drawn up to meet the needs of sixth forms in secondary schools.
The Properties of Matter.
By W. H. Spikes. Pp. vii + 152. (London: Sidgwick and Jackson, Ltd., 1930.) 4s.
