S. Eliot. Other notable works by this author include Aspects of Science (1923), Aspects of Science: Second Series (1926), and An Outline of Modern Knowledge (1931). Contents include: The Balanced Life , The Problem of Suffering , The Necessity of Mysticism , Human Immortality , A Dissertation on Beethoven , The Scientific Outlook , A Dissertation on Maxwell , New Principles , A Dissertation on Newton , Science and Art , Mathematics and Culture , Sir Josiah Stamp , Mr. Aldous Huxley , etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
