In 1889, a year after both he and Heinrich Hertz discovered
electromagnetic waves and for the first time demonstrated the truth
of Maxwell's great theory of the electromagnetic field, physicist
Oliver Lodge (1851-1940) published his deepest reflections on the
nature and meaning of electricity, how it originates, and its
different manifestations. There had been great scientific advances
- the work of Faraday and Maxwell, his own experiments and those of
Hertz - and a revolution in technology. There were also puzzling
questions. What is the connection between electricity and the ether
that occupies space? How does electricity manifest itself in
matter? Why does it come in fixed units? The discovery of the
electron eight years later would offer crucial answers. Always
lucid and direct, with a gift for making the difficult seem simple,
Lodge engages the reader with his fascination for the subject, much
as he did in his famous lectures.
