TORCH OF CIVILIZATION

By

Publisher: Putnam

A history of light and light sources, from primitive illumination to today. The importance of light in life; the challenge to sunlight and the future possibilities of light forms; the stories behind inventions. Not too technical in presentation for the average layman, and a contribution to the general reader's understanding of human progress. Written by the director of Lighting Research Laboratory, General Electric Company.
