Abstract
Peter Rowlands, Oliver Lodge and the Liverpool Physical Society . Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, 1990. Pp. 336, £15.00. ISBN-85323-027-7 Oliver Lodge was born in 1851 and lived on until 1940. His reputation has perhaps suffered from his longevity and from his very public involvement in psychical research. Peter Rowlands’s book is mainly concerned with his years in Liverpool, which were scientifically the most productive of his life. Lodge arrived in Liverpool in 1881 at the age of 30. He had originally applied for the chair at Owen’s College, Manchester, to which Arthur Schuster was appointed. Lodge, having prepared his curriculum vitae, submitted it to the newly established University College in Liverpool and was the first professor to be appointed. By the end of his tenure of the Liverpool chair, at the age of 49, he was a national figure as a scientist and a science publicist.
