Hymn of the Universe
by Pierre Teilhard De ChardinIn this book it is almost always Pere Teilhard, the man of prayer rather than the man of science, who speaks to us. As Sir Julian Huxley wrote of The Mass on the World, it is a 'truly poetical essay ... at one and the same time mystical and realistic, religious and philosophical'. This does not mean, of course, that the author ever forgets or betrays his science; what it does mean is: that the reader's approach, and response, to these pages must of necessity be quite different from those demanded by the scientific works. The mystic, the poet use language in a way essentially different from that of the scientist.

The Persecuted Drug: The Story of DMSO
by Pat McgradyDMSO remains a truly amazing substance. It is a versatile solvent; it probably will dissolve more chemicals than any other solvent. It penetrates the skin and is in the bloodstream within seconds; and it carries many dissolved chemicals with it. It freezes at a couple of degrees below room temperature. As a runoff product of the paper industry, it is abundant and should be cheap. (With inflation and the middleman's profits, its price during the last half-dozen years has multiplied thirty fold. But considering its many uses, it still is cheap at the current $10 a pint.)
