Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Explorer The stories here presented - of the work, personalities, and peculiarities of the nation's leaders of industrial research - were obtained, in many cases, against the opposition of the gentlemen concerned. Being scientists, few could view personal publicity except with distrust. They did not like to be "written up" nor to have their work dramatized. They did not wish to emerge from their laboratories to give interviews. That they did so at all was due to their interest in what would be called in Rotarian phraseology "the research game." The authors managed to convince them, often after some argument, that their stories and the work they were doing appealed to many diverse groups. The college student, trembling on the brink of the Outside World and pondering a career, would be assisted by detailed, specific knowledge of the activities of the important industrial research laboratories and the men who direct them. For him, in part, the book was written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
