1939 Report Of Meeting For Australian & NZ Advancement Of Science Antique Book

Report Of The Twenty Fourth Meeting Of The Australian and New Zealand Association For The Advancement Of Science.
Canberra Meeting, January, 1939
Honorary Editor Margaret Walkom
Published by Australasian Medical Publishing Company Limited: Sydney 1939
RARE BOOK

"The Report of the Twenty-Fourth Meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science (ANZAAS) documents one of the most significant pre-war gatherings of leading scientific minds from across Australia, New Zealand, and the wider Commonwealth. Held in Canberra in January 1939 and edited by Margaret Walkom, this substantial volume brings together the formal papers, proceedings, discussions, and sectional reports presented during a landmark congress that reflected the growing scientific maturity of the region. It captures a moment when scientific collaboration between Australia and New Zealand was accelerating rapidly, with national development, medical progress, agriculture, geology, and industrial innovation at the forefront of public and governmental interest.

Across its many sections, the report includes contributions spanning a wide spectrum of disciplines: biology and botany, medical research, chemistry, engineering, physics, agriculture, meteorology, geology, psychology, and the emerging social sciences. The material reflects the unique challenges and opportunities of Australasia in the late 1930s—from soil conservation, mining, and rural science to public health, infectious disease, and scientific policy. Many papers address applied science in a rapidly modernising society, while others explore fundamental research that would shape national capabilities in the decades ahead. The Canberra meeting is also notable for occurring on the eve of World War II, lending several discussions an unspoken urgency and historical significance.

As an original 1939 publication issued by the Australasian Medical Publishing Company, this volume provides an invaluable primary source for historians of Australian and New Zealand science, early Commonwealth research networks, and the evolution of scientific thought before the upheavals of wartime. It offers a rich snapshot of intellectual priorities, academic collaboration, and regional scientific identity at a pivotal moment in Australasian history. This edition will strongly appeal to collectors of scientific history, institutional publications, Australian academic heritage, and pre-war Commonwealth studies."
