{"product_id":"ether-and-reality-oliver-lodge-9781108052665","title":"Ether and Reality: A Series of Discourses on the Many Functions of the Ether of Space","description":"Among the widely agreed facts of physics in the late nineteenth century was the existence of luminiferous ether: the medium through which light was thought to travel. Theorised to be a highly rarefied substance, the ether accounted for the movement of light, gravity and even heat across a vacuum. It also had great implications for spiritualism. Where thought was not proven to be a result of chemistry in the brain, the presence of ether allowed for the idea that cognition and emotion might exist independently of a physical body. First published in 1925, this monograph by the eminent physicist and ether advocate Sir Oliver Lodge (1851-1940) was written for the non-scientific reader. With a focus on straightforward explanations rather than mathematical theory, his book still represents a fascinating introduction to the topic today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oliver Lodge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108052665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108052665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.42d","brand":"Oliver Lodge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120826282239,"sku":"9781108052665","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3513a7a5-ac31-4343-928f-73fa650c7bde.jpg?v=1687416495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ether-and-reality-oliver-lodge-9781108052665","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
