ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
A book like this is never the work of one person. While I pre-
pared the material and wrote it, I am indebted to hundreds of sci-
entists, teachers, and writers who ha\e supplied what has become
my "background,"notonly in science, but in the collection of facts
and attitudes toward them that are a part of my general knowl-
edge. To these extremely important but unknown men and women
I owe morethan I can eversay.
Another group of people helped me directly as I put the book
together. For their generous co-operation I am especially grateful.
This group is headed by Dr. Morris Shamos, professor of physics,
Washington Square campus, New York University. He helped in
many ways: reading manuscripts, suggesting ideas, pointing out
short cuts and improvements, and submitting chapters to his col-
leagues at New York University.
Other scientists suggested improvements or commented on the
chapters that covered their fields: Dr. R. Bobrow of the Atlantic
Yeast Company and Walter Roider of the Borden Company.
Amateurscientists also contributedvaluable ideas. Among them
were Ann Hesse and Richard Hohol.
Special mention, too, must be made of the contributions made
by Lois Brandon and FrankZelinski who have worked hard for so
many years behind the scenes, not only of the book, but of the
"Watch Mr. Wizard" television program.
