 Robert A. Heinlein A Biographical Sketch
Stories he wrote in 1939 are still in circulation, sixty years later, and he continues to be sought after as a source of film projects.
The science fiction magazines had actually expanded their audience during the pulp magazine slump of 1937 and were at that time experiencing a boom, with six new magazines appearing in 1938 and 1939, all of them urgently needing new material.
He would continue to write science fiction; it was to be the base of his professional career, and he considered himself a "professional prophet" but it was time to try writing for the hardcover market.

O Logic: born gatekeeper to the Temple of Science, victim of capricious destiny: doomed hitherto to be the drudge of pedants: come to the aid of thy master, Legislation.
Every science that has thriven has thriven upon its own symbols: logic, the only science which is admitted to have made no improvements in century after century, is the only one which has grown no symbols.
Every other science, even logic, especially in its early stages, is in danger of evaporating into airy nothingness, degenerating, as the Germans say, into an arachnoid film, spun from the stuff that dreams are made of.

 Losing the World of Tomorrow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Science has been so successful in its attack on nature and in solving the great problems of the universe because it has used always the precise experimental method of testing its ideas, of proving its conclusions, and has accepted these conclusions whether they were pleasant or unpleasant, whether they agreed with previous ideas or not.
Despite their efforts to extricate science from corporate Awerica and to recast its image as a socially responsible, democratic, and potentially liberating forcce--a beacon for a society floundering both politically and econornically--the corporate vision of a mystified and commodified science prevailed at the fair as it had in society at large.
Even if these science popularizers had been given the opportunity to implement their plans for the fair, there is little reason to believe they would have succeeded in overcoming the enormous obstacles they confronted.

 Nationalism and Internationalism in Science, 1880—1939: Four Studies of the Nobel Population:0521403863:Elisabeth ...
Showing how the rise of scientific organizations around the turn of the century centered on national scientific enterprises, Crawford argues that scientific activities of the late nineteenth century were an integral part of the emergence of the nation-state in Europe.
Internationalism in science, both theoretical and practical, began to hold sway over scientists only when economic relations and transportation and communication facilities began to cross national boundaries.
Crawford uses the Nobel population for prosopographic studies that shed new light on national and international science between 1901 and 1939.

 Astounding Science Fiction
Throughout the 1940s and 50s this was the home to SF's leading "ideas men", including such greats as A E Van Vogt and Eric Frank Russell, and others less well known such as Raymond F Jones, H Beam Piper, Randall Garrett and Mark Clifton.
Campbell took over the editorship of Astounding in October 1937, but it's generally acknowledged that his definitive style only became fully established with the July 1939 issue (containing the first stories to appear in the magazine by both Van Vogt and Asimov).
Many of these stories are still widely available on the second-hand market (or in some happy cases, still in print), in anthologies and collections and the book versions of serials, as well as the original magazines and (if you live in the UK) their British Reprint versions.
