Sinopsis
Excerpt from Science Remaking the World
Nothing can be more certain than that the character and rapidity of our national development in all matters which relate to industry, agriculture, public health and the preservation of the physical framework of our civilization will be dependent upon the quantity and quality of sound research which is carried on. The truth of this assertion becomes even more apparent when one recognizes the fact that every modern nation stands in relation of industrial and commercial competition with other nations, and, in the measure in which this is true, to fall behind the others in scientific development is to precipitate a trend of events which spells national depression. And disaster. In other words, the price of a sound, comprehensive national life is, in these times, widespread and intelligent scientific research.

Excerpt from Science Remaking the World
During the summer of 1922, nineteen men cooperated in presenting a course of lectures in Teachers College, Columbia University. The purpose of the course was primarily to provide interesting and engaging information about the achievements of modern science. It attempted to give students of all subjects an understanding of certain types of achievements of modern science, to suggest the meaning of science in various aspects of modem life and thought; to indicate the place of science in modern, social, and industrial relations. Before half of the lectures had been presented, hundreds of listeners had requested me, as organizer or the course, to assemble and publish part of the lectures and if possible, to find means for wide distribution of the resulting volume. In my desire that the volume, when published, might benefit from the unusual style and scientific clarity of Dr. E. E. Slosson, his assistance was successfully importuned in the venture. Then, a gracious and generous though anonymous benefactor agreed to finance the placement of a limited number of copies of the proposed volume in libraries of educational institutions. Finally, the publishers cooperated by providing at bare cost of production the first lot of copies for general distribution, depending upon later sales for their profits from the publication.
