The book Raymond or Life and Death is the most controversial book written by Sir Oliver Lodge. After his son, Raymond, was killed in World War I in 1915, he visited several mediums and wrote about the experience in a number of books, including this one. The book documents the séances that he and his wife had attended. Lodge was convinced that his son Raymond had communicated with him and the book is a description of his son's experiences in the spirit world.
Sir Oliver Lodge was a polymathic scientific figure who linked the Victorian Age with the Second World War, a reassuring figure of continuity across his long life and career. A physicist and spiritualist, inventor and educator, author and authority, he was one of the most famous public figures of British science in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A pioneer in the invention of wireless communication and later of radio broadcasting, he was foundational for twentieth-century media technology and a tireless communicator who wrote upon and debated many of the pressing interests of the day in the sciences and far beyond.

Oliver Lodge's book, 'The Ether of Space', explores the fascinating concept of the "ether," a material substance believed to exist in parts of space that appear to be empty.

He contends that the ether is not only uniformly present and all-pervading, but also massive and substantial beyond conception, making it by far the most substantial thing in the material universe. This book offers a compelling look at a concept that has fascinated scientists and thinkers for centuries, and will challenge readers to rethink their understanding of the nature of space and matter.
