Science
December 30, 1909 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses several literary works related to science. Some of the books are: "The Survival of Man," by Sir Oliver Lodge, "Eusapia Palladino and Her Phenomena," by Hereward Carrington. To judge by the number of volumes on "spiritism" put forth by the publishers, such books must vie with the successful novel as "best sellers." Men of science have not, as a rule, felt that they could afford the tune and labor required to study phenomena which, confessedly, are not susceptible to their careful laboratory tests, and which relate to processes often connected with deliberate fraud or innocent misrepresentation.
