OF all the dramatic situations that imagination can picture, the most dramatic, it seems to me, is that presented by the creature Man, perched upon his little speck of cosmic dust, peering out upon a hostile cosmos, fully aware of his own physical insignificance, realizing to the full that he and his and his works may be swept out of existence in the next moment, yet withal boldly digging out of an omnipotent and recalcitrant Nature one after another of her treasured secrets, ruthlessly disclosing truth after truth and boldly exploding century-old superstition after superstition. In this I have attempted to convey to the nontechnical man and woman, in an easy, conversational manner, a general outline of this intensely exciting struggle. I have endeavored to show, in quite an elementary way, what facts and deductions have been chiseled out thus far. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing the book. If you enjoy as much the reading of it, and if you profit by so doing, its object will have been fully accomplished.
