Abstract
THIS is a more popular version of the book on cosmic rays by the same author which was reviewed in Nature of May 22, p. 785, 1948. The subjects treated, and their ordering, are much the same as in that book, though less detail is given. Theory is, in the main, omitted ; but the most important formulæ are quoted, and a valiant effort is made to explain how they are derived. The book, like the earlier one, aims at comprehensiveness ; but is not too well arranged.
