In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

For something from the early 20th century, which I posit was the golden age of racism, this is actually much less racist than I expected. Also, was this put out by a church or some other type of Christian organization? Wondering about that because of how much it went into describing criticism of the theory of evolution and how it seemed very interested in the relations between the nazi party and German church organizations.

Anyway, I'll take Socialism.
It doesn't seem to be published by any particular religious organization, as you can see on the copyright page in the OP.

Thanks for sharing, vortmax.

I’m going to dump a bunch of topics here in roughly the order I’m interested in them, but do whatever you want with them.

Galaxies other than our own had been discovered in the last decade. The entries on “nebula” and “Hubble, Edwin” might also be interesting.

The second Ku Klux Klan was active in 1935. How will the encyclopædia treat it?

Tetraetyhyllead was a wonder chemical. Or was it? On a has related note, “radium” has only recently fallen from the limelight.

Pandas won’t be seen by the public till Ruth Harkness brings Su Lin to America in 1936. Surely this species gets an illustration.

The New Deal might be a good lookup, might not. We’re used to see it as a monolith in the rearview mirror, but in 1935, it was very much in flux.

The Hoover Dam, then known as Boulder Dam was under construction at the time. It was kind of a big deal.

Tesla, Nikola was living as a beggar. I suspect they saw him differently in 1935 than we do today.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Has the article on just generic paleontology been posted yet?

I imagine a lot of semi-recent major scientific discoveries we take for granted (like plate tectonics) aren't in there.

I used to have a 30-volume (or so) Encyclopedia Americana from 1955 and it was fun to look through. I'm not sure what happened to it. It might still be in my parents' garage.
