Gooding D., James F.A.J.L. (eds.) Faraday Rediscovered: Essays on the Life and Work of Michael Faraday, 1791-1867

Macmillan Press, 1989. - 258 p.
Much has been written about Faraday and much more will be written - and read - not only because of the enormous significance of his discoveries and the profusion of historical material, but also because his life has a romantic 'rags to riches' quality and a nearness to perfection which will forever be an inspiration to those whose love for science may seem to be unmatched by opportunity or formal education.
These studies will encourage scholars to 'rediscover' Faraday and to understand better the ways of working of his great mind. The new aspects of his life and achievements revealed here will also be of interest to the many people by whom he is revered throughout the world.Foreword (by Professor Sir George Porter).Introduction: Faraday Rediscovered (by David Gooding and Frank A.J.L.
