Faraday's Experimental Researches in Electricity: Guide to a first reading
Among creative scientific workers, Michael Faraday's writings are some of the most accessible. Yet there are terms, constructions, and theories in his work the meaning of which are not immediately transparent even to the informed reader. Fisher in this guide has provided a useful way through parts of Faraday's enormously influential Experimental Researches in Electricity --Frank A.J.L. James, The Royal Institution, editor of The Correspondence of Michael FaradayFaraday is always a delight to read--he's lucid and carries the reader with him on his odyssey investigating physical phenomena. We are also privileged to witness each stage in the development of his ideas. In this edition of his Experimental Researches in Electricity our appreciation of Faraday's writings is further heightened by Howard Fisher acting as our trusty and perceptive guide --Geoffrey Cantor, University of Leeds, author of Michael Faraday, Sandemanian and Scientist.An excellent introduction to Faraday's work on electricity --L. Pearce Williams, Cornell University, author of Michael Faraday
