It begins just before the publication of \u003ci\u003eFragments of Science\u003c\/i\u003e in April and \u003ci\u003eHours of Exercise\u003c\/i\u003e in May. He was busy administering the Royal Institution and the Royal Society; he was also working as the scientific consultant to Trinity House, which was involved in overseeing lighthouses in the United Kingdom, of which Ireland was a part at this time. Unlike other volumes, this one is not defined as much by one or two major projects or events for Tyndall, but instead includes a number of smaller projects and issues for him personally and professionally. As a leading man of science, and preoccupied with the work required for Trinity House, he had little time for socializing or research and began to refuse both social and professional invitations. Although well established, he remained concerned with his image, which manifests in a number of ways throughout this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne DeWitt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822946890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822946892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.50w x 1.50d","brand":"Anne DeWitt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059885011199,"sku":"9780822946892","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef3d519c-bb0e-40e8-81b0-4bf47e583f3d.jpg?v=1685060862","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-correspondence-of-john-tyndall-anne-dewitt-9780822946892","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
