INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC SYNTHESIS ssEP| . i t 19 APublished every month (each number containing 100 to 1M0 pages)
Editors: F. Bottazzi-G. Bruni-F. Enriques IS THE ONLY REVIEW the contributors to which are really international. IS THE ONLY REVIEW that has a really world-wide circulation. IS THE ONLY REVIEW of scientific synthesis and unification that deals with the funda-
mental questions of all sciences: the history of the sciences, mathematics, astronomy, geology, physics, chemistry, biology, psychology and sociology.
IS THE ONLY REVIEW that, by means of enquiries among the most eminent scientists and authors of all countries (On. the pihilosophcal principles of the various sciences; On t'he most fundamental astronomical and physical questions of current interest; On the contribu- tions that the different countries have given to the development of various branches of knowl- edge; On the more important biological questions; On the great economical and sociological international questions), studies all the main problems discussed in intellectual circles all over the world, and represents at the same time the first attempt at an international organiza- tion of philosophical and scientific progress.
IS THE ONLY REVIEW that among its contributors can boast of the most illustrious men of science in the whole world.
The articles are published in the language of their author, and every number has a supplement containing the French translation of all the articles that are not French. The review is thus completely accessible to those who know only French.
