A self-taught authority on electromagnetic theory, telegraphy and
telephony, Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925) dedicated his adult life to
the improvement of electrical technologies. Inspired by James Clerk
Maxwell's field theory, he spent the 1880s presenting his ideas as
a regular contributor to the weekly journal, The Electrician. The
publication of Electrical Papers, a year after his election to the
Royal Society in 1891, established his fame beyond the scientific
community. An eccentric figure with an impish sense of humour,
Heaviside's accessible style enabled him to educate an entire
generation in the importance and application of electricity. In so
doing he helped to establish that very British phenomenon, the
garden-shed inventor. Illustrated with practical examples, the
subjects covered in Volume 1 include voltaic constants, duplex
telegraphy, microphones and electromagnets.
