Abstract
SCIENTIFIC investigation of rubber and rubber technology, apart from scattered researches, is a work of the present century. Growth of knowledge has been very rapid in the last decade, parallel with the enormous growth of the rubber planting industry in the East and of the tire industry in America and Europe. The two books under review give a timely and encyclopædic summary of current ideas in the field.
