00CATl-IEDRAL COLLEGE world, for its breadth of vision and scholarship, was Father Francis Talbot's life of his fellow lesuit, Isaac logues- Saint Among Savagesf' With each passing year the Catholics of America are becoming more book-conscious. Consistently, the type of Catholic books is improving. This year a book appeared that is at once a landmark in Catholic letters and a handbook for all students of contemporary literature by Catholics. The Cath- olic Literary Revival by Calvert Alexander, SI., proved a revelation to many, Catholics and non-Catholics alike. A year would hardly be complete without a book from the ever-enthusiastic Chesterton. The Well and the Shallows is characterized by his customary brilliance. Father Fulton I. Sheen, our most in- spirational radio priest, has a book of sermons of great theological worth called The Mystical Body of Christ. A contribution to the field of apologetic literature came from the fighting Arnold Lunnq Science and the Supernatural is a correspondence between Mr. Lunn and I. B. S. Haldane, rather of a free thinker, in which Lunn defends the thesis that the principles of modern science are compatible with the tenets of organized religion. lf Haldane remains un- convinced, he is at least more tolerant for the experience. In the field of science, the most sensational, if not the most scientific, book of the year was Dr. Alexis Carrel's Man, the Unknown. Dr. Carrel speaks fav- orably for the miracles at Lourdes but in other instances gives manifestations of some rather hazy and distorted notions of religion. Dr. Ray Forest Moulton augmented the production of popular astronomy with Consider the Heavens. Then too every year there are a few notable books on scientific subjects that are written in an appealing and less technical style. The most important this year fto all .ostensible purposesl were books of travel. However, Admiral Richard E. Byrd's Discovery and Father l-lubbard's Cradle of the Storms impart in a very palatable manner some very scientific and absorbing facts about geology. Definitely in the field of travel books, we find by far the most celebrated non-fiction book of the year, Mrs. Lindbergs North to the Orient. Her work is a very graphic and readable account and has sold so well on its intrinsic merits rather than on the name of its author. There was a regrettable dearth of good poetry, Arthur Guiterman's spirited Death and General Putnam being the only noteworthy new volume. But this deficiency was compensated for in a remarkably large production of scholarly .works on history and politics. Mark Sullivan finished his Our Times, a twelve volume work, in which he has recorded over a period of years and in popular journalistic style, the politics, culture, eccentricities and, unfortunately, vulgari- ties, of American life. From a standpoint of unemotional record and persistent research, William H. Chamberlains History of the Russian Revolution was the outstanding contribution of an American to permanent historical reference. Finally in politics, a very fine and revealing book, was Walter Millis' Road to War in which he has retold the story of our entrance into the last war in order that now we may better understand our ground and so lessen our chances of being involved in another conflict. The reading tastes of a nation reflect how that nation believes and thinks and feels. lt is encouraging for the future of America to note that the popular trend is definitely toward more serious reading. 98
