3. +The End of the World.+ By Dr. M. Wilhelm Meyer. Translated by Margaret
Wagner. Cloth, illustrated, 50 cents.
This book answers in the light of the discovery of modern science
the questions frequently asked as to the probable end of human life
on this planet. Moreover, it goes a step further in making clear
the relations of man's life to the universe life. We have already
seen that "mind" is but another form of "life." Dr. Meyer shows
that not only animals and plants but even worlds and suns have
their birth, growth, maturity, reproduction, decay and death, and
that death is but the preparation for a new cycle of life.
4. +Science and Revolution: A Historical Study of the Evolution of the

being influenced by his class environment, and he himself speaks
distinctly as a proletarian and a Socialist. "Science and
Revolution" is an essential link in the chain of evidence proving
that conclusions drawn by Socialists from the facts of science.

wealth of scientific detail charming set forth. The German original

with pictures that aid materially in an understanding of the text.
