A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sir Oliver Lodge summoned a meeting of the colleagues and friends of the late Professor John Henry Poynting to consider how best a suitable memorial could be established to perpetuate his memory. The following committee was appointed to carry out the purpose of the meeting: Sir Oliver Lodge (chairman), Guy Barlow, Neville Chamberlain, P. F. Frankland, Sir R. T. Glazebrook, R. S. Heath, George Hookham, Sir Joseph Larmor, Sir Napier Shaw, Sir J. J. Thomson, Sir Richard Threlfall, and T. Sydney Walker, with G. H. Morley asS ecretary and G. A. Shakespear as Treasurer. A fund was opened and subscriptions were invited, and the Committee decided that there could be no better memorial than the publication in a collected form of theS cientific Papers of John Henry Poynting, and the distribution of copies to certain scientific institutions throughout the world. The task of editing and proof correction was gladly undertaken by his junior colleagues G. A. Shakespear and Guy Barlow who have throughout had the benefit of the advice of Sir Oliver Lodge. Biographical and critical notices byS ir Oliver Lodge, Sir Joseph Larmor, Sir J. J. Thomson and G. A. Shakespear have been inserted as an introduction to the volume. The papers have been arranged in groups, with the object of bringing together those dealing with kindred subjects. In each group the papers are in chronological order. In such collections there is inevitably a certain amount of repetition or overlapping, since a subject is often dealt with from more than one point of view the strictly scientific and the popular but since this variety of treatment is helpful, in cases of doubt the decision has generally been given in favour of inclusion. The popular discourses and general articles have for the most part been relegated to the last section of the volume. His books, and other publications which are easily accessibl

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
