Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collected Scientific Papers In the summer of 1914 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 as Secretary 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 the Scientific 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 by Sir 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 accessible, are not included; but a complete list of his works in chronological order is given at the end of the volume. The papers have been reproduced as originally published except for small verbal corrections here and there.
