Oliver Heaviside's electromagnetic investigations - from the
publication of his first electrical paper in 1972 to the public
recognition awarded to him by Lord Kelvin in 1889 - have
consistently attracted attention over the years, and of late have
become a major source for the study of the development of field
theory after Maxwell. "From Obscurity to Enigma" is the only
comprehensive, in-depth analysis of Heaviside's work. It analyses
and elucidates his brilliant but often close-to-indecipherable
Electrical Papers and traces the evolution of his ideas against the
background of growing knowledge in basic electromagnetic theory,
telegraphy and telephony during these years. The book will be
appreciated by historians of science and technology in the late
19th and early 20th centuries and by physicists and electrical
engineers, many of whom are aware of Heaviside's contributions to
their respective fields.
