Softcover. Third edition; 8 1/2 x 6 1/2; pp. 3-211, [3]; illustrated wraps with cover art by artist Mikhail Razulevich; small nicks and rubbed spots to edges of wraps; 2" loss of paper to head of spine; illustrated with photographs; good to very good condition.Ilia Marshak (1896 - 1953), writing under the pseudonym Mikhail Ilin, was the younger brother of the father of Russian children's literature Samuil Marshak (1887 - 1964). The current book was Ilia's first, and this third edition was as significant, in its own way, as the original first. Following in the footsteps of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, Ilia presented to children complex, scientific topics in vivid, clear, and easy-to-understand images. His brother Samuil described his books' premise as "Imagination creates understanding." His books rapidly gained popularity with the beginning of the First Five-Year Plan in 1931. Although thousands of children enjoyed his first work and its descriptions of industries, goals, and natural resources, many of them wrote back letters with feedback stating that the design of the first edition's wraps, with its image of dreary, gray, heavy machinery, had made them hesitate before picking up a copy. Thus, Ilia and Razulevich completely reworked the cover art for the third edition to bear a dynamic, easily-comprehensible, and heroic-looking illustration. 2.…
