He has written about 60 research pomphlets and books on astronomical subjects. He is a member of the American As tronomical society, and has been for a quarter-century a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society of England. .. "'".The preface of the book ex plains its purpose: "This book has been written for all of those many people who wonder about the distances which the physical sciences deal with, and how they are determined. An understanding of the methods used, the. care with which scien tists use all possible means to check their results, and especial ly their jealous regard for their own confidence in what they are doing must inspire trust in their conclusions on the part of the reader." That the problems of knowing and overcoming distances are very human, Dr. Lee illustrates by his opening paragraphs: "The every day experiences of all mankind throughout the ages has been saturated with distance. From the beginning of the day to Its end and even in the ambiguous and adventur ess texture of dreams the one common problem of living is to overcome distance. Time Is In cidental, usually forgotten be cause we seem to have unlim ited amounts of it, but distance is invariably present ... My toilet articles are In the next room. I mast go there to use them. I must go to the dining room for my breakfast or have It brought to me. In our busi ness days we are continually battling: - with distance. Daring; vacations we take distance Into our arms with genuine affection." In the preface. Dr. Lee also gives Florence B. Lee credit for suggesting the clever title, The book is dedicated "To the memory of my father and mother who understood my childhood's dreams and early guided me into pleasures of an intellectual life.' Dr. Lee's mother is well remem bered at Silverton, for Miss Chris tina Lee made her home here for many years. The library staff, in commenting on the new book, ex pressed pleasure at having a copy of a book written by a son of a patron who added sd much pleas- ure by her library visits as did the late Mrs. Lee.
