Lord Kelvin (William Thomson), arguably Britain's most eminent
scientist after Newton, spent much of his life in work which led to
the development of today's electrical units and standards. Despite
his influence, there are few biographies of stature (largely due to
the abstruse nature of much of his technical research). This
treatment concentrates upon his work in three phases; discovery of
the fundamental concepts and coding them into universal laws,
leading the adoption of the metric system, and securing worldwide
use of units and standards (now the IEC system).
