Mahon B. The Man Who Changed Everything: The Life of James Clerk Maxwell

John Wiley & Sons, 2003. - 226 p.
This is the biography of James Clerk Maxwell, one of the greatest scientists of our time and yet a man relatively unknown to the wider public. Approaching science with a freshness unbound by convention or previous expectations, he produced some of the most original scientific thinking of the nineteenth century — and his discoveries went on to shape the twentieth century.A country boy: Glenlair 1831-1841
