About the author

Sir George Gabriel Stokes, 1st Baronet, PRS (1819 – 1903) was an Irish English physicist and mathematician. He spent all of his career at the University of Cambridge, where he was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics from 1849 until his death in 1903. As a physicist, Stokes made seminal contributions to fluid mechanics, including the Navier–Stokes equations and to physical optics, with notable works on polarization and fluorescence. As a mathematician, he popularised "Stokes' theorem" in vector calculus and contributed to the theory of asymptotic expansions. Stokes, along with Felix Hoppe-Seyler, first demonstrated the oxygen transport function of hemoglobin and showed color changes produced by aeration of hemoglobin solutions.

Reviews

[Joseph · Rating 5 out of 5]

A brief but very useful case for annihilationism, set forth in the context of a series of letters with a traditionalist.

In this brief volume, the author touches no only on many key passages but also the early church and the existence of conditional immortality at that time (as opposed to being a "modern" view).
