He was given many awards and honors including Nichols Medal (1915 and 1920) Hughes Medal (1918) Rumford Medal (1921) Cannizzaro Prize (1925) Perkin Medal (1928) School of Mines Medal (Columbia University, 1929) Chardler Medal (1929) Willard Gibbs Medal (1930) Popular Science Monthly Award (1932) Franklin Medal and Holly Medal (1934) John Scott Award (1937) Modern Pioneer of Industry (1940) Faraday Medal (1944) and Mascart Medal (1950). He was a foreign member of the Royal Society of London, a fellow of the American Physical Society, and an honorary member of the British Institute of Metals and the Chemical Society (London). He served as president of the American Chemical Society and as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He received over a dozen honorary degrees. 

Even the normaUy-accurate popular science monthly Scientific American depicted j4tk-anita muscaria among other species on its covet, with the subtitle Deadly Mushrooms (Litten 1975), A recent book contained the unfounded statement normally, 10 or more specimens of Fly-Agaric can be fatal (LincofF Mitchel 1977). No reference was given, and I would like to see the evidence on which this statement is based.

In its September 22, 1972 issue, Business Week ran a multi-page article on international hydrogen developments.10 (Its effect on the scientists assembled in San Diego was apparendy quite riveting. Marchetti later wrote, in a personal note, that out of 650 participants about 500 were concentrated in the [session] on H2. ) Fortune carried a longer story 2 months later, and that was followed by articles in Readers Digest, Time, Popular Science, and other periodicals. 

John Turkevich was a fascinating individual who made major contributions to several fields of human endeavor. With his wife Ludmilla Buketoff Turkevich, John initiated Russian courses at Princeton and edited a monthly Guide to Russian Scientific Literature" from 1947 to 1952. He wrote several authoritative publications and articles in popular magazines on Russian science, particularly chemistry. He also lectured on government and science at the famous Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton. 

A popular monthly magazine that publishes articles on a broad range of subjects and current issues in science and technology. 

Davis pointed out that being a scientist did not guarantee access to newspaper offices. What mattered was whether editors are confident of the authoritativeness and the reliability of our product. 14 Nevertheless, the executive committee offered the position to a well-known zoologist who had little experience in publishing or popularization. When that scientist refused the job, Davis was kept in limbo for another eleven months, while trustees (led primarily by James McKeen Cattell) attempted to reorient the organization away from the Scripps s vision of democratic expression and toward becoming a publicity machine for science.15 Finally, in 1933, in the depths of the Great Depression, Davis was appointed director. 

A chapter in a popular book on HPLC nicely presents SPE (57). Two texts have recently been published on the principles and practice of SPE (58). Recently, a special issue of LC-GC The Magazine of Separation Science was devoted to sample preparation and included articles that addressed not only conventional SPE but included automated SPE, martix solid-phase dispersion, membrane filtration, solid-phase microextraction, and polymeric RP-SPE sorbents (59). Cahners Business Information, that publishes R D Magazine has recently started a monthly newsletter titled Sample Preparation largely as a means to showcase products related to SPE and related techniques. 

Perhaps the road is now open for more ambitious forays into the central science of chemistry This new book is by two knowledgeable and expert popularizers of chemistry and deals exclusively with molecules and compounds rather than with the simpler atoms and elements. It is based on the very successful Molecule of the Month website that was begun by Paul May fifteen years ago and to which his co-author Simon Cotton has been a frequent contributor. This also provides a curious new trend in that we frequently see print books later moving to the electronic medium but not so frequently a movement in the opposite direction from electronic to the print medium. The authors, who have been the biggest contributors to Molecule of the Month over the years, strike an excellent balance between introducing the novice to the world of molecules while also keeping the expert chemist interested. 

Himmel undErde—Illustrierte naturwissenschaftliche Monatsschrift [Sky and Earth— Illustrated Monthly Natural Science Paper] was edited from 1889 to 1915 by the popular education association Urania in the Paetel Brothers publishing house in Berlin. The head of the editorial staff was M. Wilhelm Meyer.
