about

After a visit to the wonderful Faraday Museam at the Royal Institution on Albermarle Street in London's fashionable Mayfair (or is it?) Gilbert decided to curate a group of previously unreleased tracks and associate them, as only he knows how, with some notable scientists associated with the Ri.

The cover picture is one of the stairwells at the Ri.

1. Dewar: Sir James Dewar was a Scottish chemist and physicist, known for his work on low-temperature physics and the invention of the vacuum flask.

2. Faraday: Michael Faraday, an English scientist, made significant contributions to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry, with his notable discoveries including electromagnetic induction and electrolysis.

3. Davy: Sir Humphry Davy, a prominent English chemist, discovered several alkali and alkaline earth metals, and his groundbreaking work laid the foundation for the development of electrochemistry.

4. Tyndall: John Tyndall, an Irish physicist, conducted research on the scattering of light in the atmosphere and demonstrated the principles of the greenhouse effect, contributing to our understanding of climate science.

5. Bragg: Sir William Henry Bragg, along with his son Sir William Lawrence Bragg, made pioneering contributions to X-ray crystallography, allowing for the determination of crystal structures and leading to their joint Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915.

6. Lonsdale: Kathleen Lonsdale (1903–1971): Lonsdale was a crystallographer and the first female tenured professor at University College London. She was a fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the Royal Institution.

7. Hodgkin: Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, a British chemist, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964 for her groundbreaking work in determining the structures of important biochemical substances, including penicillin and vitamin B12.

8. Rayleigh: Lord Rayleigh, or John William Strutt, was a British physicist who made significant contributions to the understanding of wave theory, acoustics, and optics, earning him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1904.

9. Thomson: Sir J.J. Thomson, a British physicist, discovered the electron and made significant contributions to the understanding of atomic structure, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906.
