(Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1998), 177 pp., hb, $42.00, ISBN 0-804-73276-0.Is the position of a citizen in the country to be determined only by his political weight? There was a time when alongside the emperor stood the patriarch: the church was then the bearer of culture. The church is becoming obsolete, the patriarchs have had their day, but the country cannot manage without leaders in the sphere of ideas …Only science and scientists can move our technology, economy and state order forward …Sooner or later we will have to raise scientists to the rank of patriarch. That will be necessary because without that you will not make scientists always serve the country with enthusiasm … Without that patriarchal position for the scientists the country cannot grow culturally on its own, just as Bacon noted in his ‘New Atlantis’. It is time, therefore, for comrades of Comrade [Lavrenty] Beria's type to begin to learn respect for scientists.Letter from Peter Leonidovich Kapitsa to Joseph Stalin, 3 October 1945

Luminescent Spectrum

Work has recently begun in the Physics Department of the Manchester College of Science and Technology on an attempt to simulate lunar luminescence in the laboratory. This programme is running parallel with that of our colleagues in the Manchester University Astronomy Department, who are making observations of the luminescent spectrum of the Moon itself. Our instruments are as yet only partly completed, but we will describe briefly what they are to consist of, in the hope that we may benefit from the comments of others in the same field, and arrange to co-ordinate our work with theirs.
