Michael Faraday (1791–1867) rose from an obscure bookbinding apprentice to become the pre-eminent scientific discoverer of his time. Throughout his life he conducted a series of brilliant forays into electricity, magnetism, chemistry, and light. Faraday is also among the most accessible of writers, recounting his researches not in the abstract symbols of analytic mathematics but in vivid, lucid, English prose.
In this volume, Faraday boldly explores a new relation between magnetism and electricity. As we follow his narrative we can both witness and participate in his thinking, his questioning, and his insights. Includes introductions, notes, and supplementary diagrams.
“Faraday shows us his unsuccessful as well as his successful
experiments, and his crude ideas as well as his developed ones, and the reader
is tempted to believe that, if he had the opportunity, he too would be a discoverer.
Every student should study Faraday for the cultivation of a scientific spirit.”
---James Clerk Maxwell
