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.

LONDON RAYMOND TO HIS MOTHER AND FAMILY WITH GRATITUDE FOR PERMISSION TO USE PRIVATE MATERIAL IOR PUBLIC ENDS Divine must be That triumph, when the very worst, the pain, And even the prospect of our brethren slain, Hath something in it which the heart enjoys. 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.
