The Special Theory of Relativity: Based on a short course of
lectures delivered in the late 1930s, this short book presents the
theory of Special Relativity by formulating a redefinition of the
measurement of length, and thus will appeal to students of physics
who wish to think through Einstein's thought without the
encumbrance of quasi-scientific concepts and language. Relativity:
A Very Elementary Exposition: This brief lecture, delivered in
October 1921 and published for the first time in 1925, offers an
explanation of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity for the
non-scientist, giving a general overview that does justice both to
the actual physics involved, and the wider implications of this
revolutionary discovery of the 20th century.

Originally published in 1930, Sir Oliver Lodge proposes a
connection between physics and philosophy, or as he describes it, a
key to unlock the intricate connection between mind and matter. A
response to early twentieth century mathematically-led philosophy,
Lodge looks at physics from a physical direction rather than from a
theoretical model. This title will be of interest to students of
philosophy as well physics.

1902. A collation of opinions as to a future life by some of the
world's most eminent scientific men and thinkers. Lodge was a
physicist and writer involved in the development of the wireless
telegraph. Lodge, in his Royal Institute lectures coined the term
coherer and gained the syntonic (or tuning) patent from the United
States Patent Office. Most controversially, however, he was a
longtime researcher into psychic phenomena and a dedicated believer
in Spiritualism, an understandable pursuit, given his huge
contribution to scientific understanding of the unseen world. After
1900 he became prominent in psychical research, believing strongly
in the possibility of communicating with the dead. After he lost
his son Raymond during WW1 he was convinced to have established
contact with him through a medium. Contents: The Scientists; The
Psychical Researchers; The Philosophers; The Spiritualists; What
the Editor Thinks About It; and Immortality from New Standpoints.

WORDSWORTH, Sonnet xxvi PREFACE THIS book is named after my son who
was killed in the War. It is divided into three parts. In the first
part some idea of the kind of life lived and the spirit shown by
any number of youths, fully engaged in civil occupations, who
joined for service when war broke out and went to the Front, is
illustrated by extracts from his letters. The object of this
portion is to engender a friendlyfeeling towards the writer of the
letters, so that whatever more has to be said in the sequel may not
have the inevitable dullness of details concerning an entire
stranger. This is the sole object of this portion. The letters are
not sup posed to be remarkable though as a picture of part of the
life at the Front during the 1915 phase of the war they are
interesting, as many other such letters must have been. The second
part gives specimens of what at present are considered by most
people unusual communications though these again are in many
respects of an ordinary type, and will be recognised as such by
other bereaved persons who have had similar messages. In a few par
ticulars, indeed, those here quoted haVe rather special features,
by reason of the assistance given by the group of my friends on the
other side who had closely studied the subject. It is partly owing
to the urgency therein indicated that I have thought it my duty to
speak out, though it may well be believed that it is not without
hesi tation that I have ventured thus to obtrude family affairs. I
should not have done so were it not that the amount of premature
and unnatural bereavement at the present time ril viii RAYMOND is
so appalling that the pain caused by exposing ones own sorrow and
its alleviation, to possible scoffers, becomes almost negligible in
view of the service which it is legitimate to hope may thus be
rendered to mourners, if they can derive comfort by learning that
communication across the gulf is possible. Incidentally I have to
thank those friends, some of them previously unknown, who have in
the same spirit allowed the names of loved ones to appear in this
book, and I am grateful for the help whichone or two of those
friends have accorded. Some few more perhaps may be thus led, to
pay critical attention to any assurance of continued and happy and
useful existence which may reach them from the other side...
My own researches have led me to perceive a profound substratum of
truth underlying ancient doctrines, and in so far as the progress
of science instead of undermining actually illustrates and
illumines some of them, I conceive it to be my duty as well as my
privilege to indicate to the best of my ability how matters stand.
Part I of this book deals with the subject of incarnation and
ultimately leads up to a brief consideration of the momentous
Christian doctrine-The Incarnation. Part II furnishes hints and
suggestions for the effective treating of the Old Testament in the
light of the doctrine of evolution. Part III is of the nature of an
apologia and anticipatory reply to critics. Contents: Incarnation;
Old Testament in Education; The Scope of Science.
