Michael Faraday has a good case to be crowned as the greatest
experimental scientist who ever lived. His discoveries in
electrochemistry, electromagnetism, dia-and para-magnetism and
above all the unification of the forces of nature, continue to
provide the backdrop against which the physical sciences operate at
the end of the 20th century. Yet his contribution was more than
simply scientific discovery. He was a fervent advocate of better
understanding of science by the population at large, an
inspirational lecturer on science to young people, advisor to
governments and, perhaps most importantly, a deeply moral and
spiritual man, whose life was founded on strongly held beliefs
about man, society and religion. This book brings together for the
first time a comprehensive selection of his writings, taken from
all aspects of his life, intimate and public. They show the
relationships between his many activities, especially with the
Royal Institution, for whose bicentenary this collection is
published.
