AIR STORMING by Hendrik Van Loon Kirkus Star

AIR STORMING

By

Publisher: Harcourt, Brace

A collection of 40 radio talks by a popular broadcaster --and they read well. A variety of subjects as a springboard, all directly or indirectly connected with his role as historian and geographer, but light in touch with an amazing underlying substance of real scholarship. Ancients and moderns -- current problems and their long-past prototypes -- witl and philosophy. Not for the wide Van Loon market -- but for those who want pungent essays of today.
