About This Book

A chronological narrative and curated correspondence present the subject's later years, tracing persistent ill health alongside active public service in scientific societies, advocacy for technical education, and efforts to link scientific knowledge with industry. The material captures responses to honors, participation in scholarly and theological debate, and intimate reactions to family illness and bereavement. Letters and contemporary commentary are arranged with supporting appendices and an index to document the period's events and provide documentary context.
