First and Last Things is a philosophical book written by H.G. Wells. The book discusses the fundamental questions of human existence, such as the nature of the universe, the meaning of life, the role of humanity in the world, and the possibility of an afterlife. Wells explores these topics from a scientific and rational perspective, drawing on the latest scientific discoveries and theories of his time. The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of human existence. In the first part, Wells discusses the nature of the universe and the origins of life. In the second part, he explores the evolution of human society and the role of science and technology in shaping the world. The third part deals with the meaning of life and the search for purpose and fulfillment. Finally, in the fourth part, Wells considers the possibility of an afterlife and the ultimate fate of humanity. Throughout the book, Wells presents a vision of a rational and scientific worldview that seeks to understand and explain the mysteries of existence. First and Last Things is a thought-provoking and challenging book that offers a unique perspective on the fundamental questions of human existence.After I had studied science and particularly biological science for some years, I became a teacher in a school for boys. I found it necessary to supplement my untutored conception of teaching method by a more systematic knowledge of its principles and methods, and I took the courses for the diplomas of Licentiate and Fellow of the London College of Preceptors which happened to be convenient for me. These courses included some of the more elementary aspects of psychology and logic and set me thinking and reading further.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
