Reviews
""It's just the best book of its kind I have ever read, and I just hugely enjoyed it. Couldn't put it down. [Their discovery] was a fabulous human achievement."--Charlie Munger, Vice-Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Corporation, on CNBC's Squawk Box"Compelling. ...A lively account of the men and their times and a brilliant exposition of the scientific circumstances and significance of their work."--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW"The life and science of these two giants of nineteenth-century physics is beautifully documented and narrated in this riveting book."--Eric D'Hoker, Distinguished Professor of Physics, UCLA; past president, Aspen Center for Physics"If it is possible for a book about the electromagnetic field to be a 'page turner,' then this book is one! . . . This conceptual approach to what can be a daunting topic . . . makes the thinking of these great scientists accessible to all. I highly recommend this book for anyone with a passion for science."--NSTA Recommends"Perhaps the names of Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell aren't as well known as Newton or Einstein, but they should be. The book traces their amazing collaboration.... But as equally fascinating as the tale of the discovery is that of the men behind it.... A fascinating true tale of the lives of two essential men of physics!" --AstroGuyz "Blends science history and lively biography. ...Accessible writing and a feel for character make this an interesting look at two scientists whose work defined an era and set the course for modern physics."--Publishers Weekly"Fans of biographies, as well as anyone interested in science and technology...will enjoy reading about these 'two modest and genial men whose combined endeavors changed the world.'"--Library Journal, "Forbes [is] an expert guide to the hottest research in a potentially revolutionary area of technology."- Booklist (on Imitation of Life ) "...not merely an absorbing account of Maxwell's life [but] an explanation of why his work is at the foundation of the modern world." - Nature (on The Man Who Changed Everything ), "The unification of electric and magnetic phenomena in terms of fields was born out of Faraday's physical vision and Maxwell's mathematical genius. The life and science of these two giants of nineteenth-century physics is beautifully documented and narrated in this riveting book. " --Eric D'Hoker, Distinguished Professor of Physics, UCLA; past president, Aspen Center for Physics, "A whirlwind history, richer even than its subtitle suggests." -- Nature (on Imitation of Life ) "An absorbing account of Maxwell's life and work" -- Sunday Telegraph Review (on The Man Who Changed Everything ), "The unification of electric and magnetic phenomena in terms of fields was born out of Faraday's physical vision and Maxwell's mathematical genius.

Synopsis
The story of two brilliant nineteenth-century scientists who discovered the electromagnetic field, laying the groundwork for the amazing technological and theoretical breakthroughs of the twentieth century Two of the boldest and most creative scientists of all time were Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879). This is the story of how these two men - separated in age by forty years - discovered the existence of the electromagnetic field and devised a radically new theory which overturned the strictly mechanical view of the world that had prevailed since Newton's time. The authors, veteran science writers with special expertise in physics and engineering, have created a lively narrative that interweaves rich biographical detail from each man's life with clear explanations of their scientific accomplishments. Faraday was an autodidact, who overcame class prejudice and a lack of mathematical training to become renowned for his acute powers of experimental observation, technological skills, and prodigious scientific imagination. James Clerk Maxwell was highly regarded as one of the most brilliant mathematical physicists of the age.

James Clerk Maxwell was highly regarded as one of the most brilliant mathematical physicists of the age. He made an enormous number of advances in his own right. But when he translated Faraday's ideas into mathematical language, thus creating field theory, this unified framework of electricity, magnetism and light became the basis for much of later, 20th-century physics.Faraday's and Maxwell's collaborative efforts gave rise to many of the technological innovations we take for granted today - from electric power generation to television, and much more.

- d***3 (619)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI am really happy to have scored a box of 10 bags of my favorite chocolate candy for such a reasonable price. The seller contacted me to let me know there might be a delay in it arriving depending on which distribution center it went through. Thankfully it must have gone through our local one because the item wasn't held up at all and arrived within about a week. Hence, I can start enjoying my chocolate stash. Would definitely use this seller again. Much thanks!
