Sir Oliver Lodge (1851 1940) was a physicist instrumental in the
discovery of electromagnetic waves: the basis of today's radio and
X-ray technology. He came from humble beginnings. After suffering
at the hands of violent masters and schoolmates during his
childhood, Lodge went on to teach physics and chemistry to young
women at Bedford College in London. Later, he was appointed
professor of physics at the University of Liverpool, and became
known for his public lectures on a vast range of topics, from the
comic faults of phonographs to the medical applications of X-rays.
Whether seeing the cells of a voltaic battery in a pile of plates
or appreciating the enunciation of Alexander Graham Bell, Lodge had
a warm enthusiasm that shines through in this touching
autobiography, first published in 1931. It remains ideal for
general readers as well as students in the history of science.
