A self-educated man who knew no mathematics, Michael Faraday rose
from errand boy to become one of Britain's greatest scientists.
Faraday made the discoveries upon which most of twentieth-century
technology is based and readers of this book will enjoy finding out
in how many ways we are indebted to him. The story of his life
speaks to us across the years and is a fascinating read, especially
when the tale is told with the understanding and gusto that
Professor Thomas-one of the UK's leading scientists-brings to the
telling. Faraday took great trouble to make the latest discoveries
of science, his own and others', intelligible to the layman, and
the tradition he fostered has been kept alive ever since, so that
the Royal Institution is as well known for its contributions to
education as for its research. Written in a concise, nontechnical
style, Michael Faraday and the Royal Institution: The Genius of Man
and Place is a human account that provides an introduction to the
roots of modern science and ways in which scientists work. The book
is lavishly illustrated with drawings, cartoons, photographs, and
letters-many never before published. There is no similar book on
Faraday that interprets his genius in modern, everyday terms,
making it understandable, interesting, and exciting reading for
scientists and nonscientists alike.
