Non-Fiction
BURGOS JUSTICE -- Ruiz Vilaplana -- Knopf ($2). Revelations of an ex-Com missioner of Justice of Burgos, Spain, who first supported the rebels, turned against them because of atrocities and the dominance of German and Italian influence. Good accounts of day-to-day life behind rebel lines at the beginning of the civil war, weakened by dull speculations, sketchy historical passages.
ARCHITECTS OF IDEAS -- Ernest R. Trattner -- Carrick & Evans ($3.75). Beginning with Copernicus and ending with Einstein this book gives lucid explanations of what 15 scientific theoreticians have done for Science. Of more interest than Author Trattner's biographies are his accounts of vulgar errors, wrong theories and bad guesses for which scholars and scientists fought tooth & nail.
