Rust cloth-covered boards, 7 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches, 246 pp., b/w illustrations (drawings). Very good. Rare (two OCLC library holdings). This is a school textbook, with a State of Texas form printed on the front and rear pastedowns (h…owever, there is no indication that the book was issued to any students). Early mention of television: "The imaginations of the scientists are always busy. They dream of a world so completely run by electricity that the one in which we now live will some day seem slow and old fashioned. What are some of the miracles they see? One of them is television. Television will give us the power to see the person with whom we talk over the telephone. We shall watch our radio programs as well as listen to them."
