Faraday, Maxwell, and the Electromagnetic Field - by Nancy Forbes & Basil Mahon

The Electromagnetic Field: The Story of Two Geniuses Who Changed Our Understanding of the World by Nancy Forbes and Basil Mahon is a captivating tale of two of the boldest and most creative scientists of all time - Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879).

This book provides an in-depth look at their groundbreaking work, which overturned the strictly mechanical view of the world that had prevailed since Newton's time. The authors skillfully interweave rich biographical detail from each man's life with clear explanations of their scientific accomplishments, making this book an enjoyable read for both scientists and non-scientists alike.

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.

Maxwell, on the other hand, was highly regarded as one of the most brilliant mathematical physicists of his age and made numerous advances in his own right. Their collaborative efforts gave rise to many of the technological innovations we take for granted today - from electric power generation to television.

The book is filled with fascinating details about their lives, including their struggles and triumphs, as well as their personalities and motivations.

The authors have created a lively narrative that will inspire readers to learn more about the fascinating world of science. The Electromagnetic Field is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science, physics, or engineering.

It is a story of how two geniuses changed our understanding of the world and paved the way for future innovations.
