We all know that since the war, enormous advances have been made in a great variety of technical subjects, even though sometimes it has been necessary to preserve silence about details. Even before the war there were many new techniques which had not been applied in practice. Perhaps now for the the first time it is possible to bring out this book, describing the results of their work as it will affect the homes of the future.
This is a serious book written on a serious subject. Every section is contributed by a recognised authority. The result is a volume packed with facts that concern everyone. It will be invaluable to all who want to keep abreast of the advances which can be incorporated in the greatest of all resconstruction tasks ahead of us. it will be indispensible to those who have to take an active part, in whatever capacity, in carrying out this task.
