TITLE: Universal Book of Knowledge and Wonders AUTHOR: Hill, Henry Chase (Editor) AUTHOR 2 (if applicable): n/a AUTHOR 3 (if applicable): n/a ILLUSTRATOR (if applicable): n/a PUBLISHER: Universal Book and Bible House, Date: 1917 ISBN: N/A (pre-ISBN publication) FORMAT: Hardcover, 605 pages EDITION: First Edition PRINTING [if applicable]: 1st Printing (No Later Stated) BOOK CONDITION: Good JACKET CONDITION: No Jacket (Jacket Missing?) DIMENSIONS (if available): 9.50 x 7.25 x 1.75 in. approx. KEYWORDS: Henry Chase Hill, Universal Book of Knowledge and Wonders, Photographs, Submarine, Panama Canal, Talking Machine, Motorcycle, Watch, Rifle, Rubber, Rope, DESCRIPTION: From the preface: This book is presented to those, both young and old, who wish to have a nontechnical account of the history, evolution and production of some of the every-day wonders of the modern industrial age; coupled with occasional glimpses of the wonderful object-lessons afforded by nature in her constructive activities in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms; and simple, understandable answers to the myriad puzzling questions arising daily in the minds of those for whom the fascination of the “Why” and “How” is always engrossing, Although not intended primarily as a child’s book, the interest-compelling pictures and clear, illuminating answers to the constant avalanche of questions sug-rested by the growing mind, unite in making far happier children in the home and brighter children at school. Parents and teachers will also recognize the opportunity to watch for subjects by which the child’s interest appears to be more than ordinarily attracted, and, in so doing, will be enabled to guide the newly-formed tendencies into the proper channels. With the greatest thinkers of the age advocating vocational training, and leading educators everywhere pointing out that the foundation of a practical education for life must be laid in the home, thoughtful parents will not overlook the fact that a book which both entertains and instructs is of supreme importance in the equipment of their children. ************ Early history of science and technology that would serve as an ideal companion to the earliest series of Tom Swift books, focussing on the outburst of new technologies which accompanied the advent of the 20th century. Profusely illustrated with photographs. The book was reprinted at least once, in 1926, under a slightly altered title and with at least one altered photograph. An interesting assessment of the state of technology and the world from the second decade of the 20th century. CONDITION: Moderate wear to the covers, wear to the spine, especially head and tail. Previous owner has taped a Library of Congress catalogue number on the lower extremity of the spine. Hinges loose but sound, cover cloth will show marks and assorted imperfections. Interior hinge is cracked through to the binding strip at the title page, and could stand some library tape to stabilise it, the same is true of the rear hinge at the inside back end paper / inside back cover. Text block is age-toned but appears otherwise unmarked a century later. FROM THE BOOKSELLER: Thank you for visiting the Dactyl Books eBay Store!
