Two new books, "The Land of
Prester John" by Elaine Sanceau
and "Mr. Tompkins Explores the
Atom" by George Gamow, have
been added to the Alcove to in
terest readers of travel, adven
ture, science, and history.
For those who read tales of
travel and faraway places, "The
Land of Prester John" will be
especially enjoyable. The story of
Prester John, legendary ruler of
an undiscovered country, is the
story of a region as fascinating:
to the early Europeans as the
mountains of the moon and nearly
as inaccessible. Not until the late
15th century did Prester John
pass from the realm of legend to
assume his place as a potential
ally against the Portuguese in
Ethiopia. The chronicle is high
lighted by fabulous tales of a
queen marooned on a mountain
fortress -approachable only by
means of a pulley basket and of
lofty hermitage inhabited only
by mummies. "The Land of Pres
ter John" is a book which dc
scribes a curious, almost forgot
ten, bypath of history.
Mr. Tompkins, the modest bank
clerk of "Mr. Tompkins in Won
derland," is now happily married
and in this book Mr. Gamow
takos him and his wife through
the processes of learning about
the atom. Mr. Tompkins learns
the mysteries of atomic nucleus
by watching the tricks performed
for him by an unusual person
who seems to resemble Gepetto
in "Pinocchio;" he goes dancing
with an atom of chlorine and is
annihilated in the encounter with
a murderous positron. Through
Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins expert
ences Professor Gamow trans
lates into everyday language the
vast store of information now
available concerning the atom.
