With simple determination and extraordinary insight he was able to make the scientific discoveries on which most of the technology of the twentieth century is based. His life and works have profoundly influenced contemporary thought, inspiring and complementing the work of other great minds, such as Clerk Maxwell and Albert Einstein. John Meurig Thomas is continuing a tradition of popularisation of science that has a shining example in Michael Faraday; Sir Thomas has the merit of illustrating the history and scientific work of this philosopher of nature with a simple and at the same time accurate style, which is accessible to all. Faraday?s fascinating and detailed story is enriched with a series of drawings, photographs and letters, mostly unpublished documents. 517 $aMichael Faraday 606 $aGeneral & world history$2bicssc 606 $aHistory: specific events & topics$2bicssc 610 $aBiografia 610 $aScienza 610 $aTecnologia 610 $aMichael Faraday 610 $aSecolo XX 610 $aInghilterra 615 7$aGeneral & world history 615 7$aHistory: specific events & topics 700 $aMeurig$b Thomas John$4auth$01297004 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910572193803321 996 $aMichael Faraday$93024393 997 $aUNINA
