Austrian physicist Ernst Mach (1838–1916) gave the twelve lectures presented here between 1864 and 1894. This English translation appeared in 1895. Mach discusses a range of scientific topics, addressing electrostatics, the conservation of energy, and why humans have two eyes. The final four lectures are more philosophical in nature.
