Michael Faraday, Man of Science

by Walter Jerrold

Автобіографічна книга (англійською мовою) про Майкла Фарадея - англійського фізика та хіміка, одного з найкращих експериментаторів в історії світової науки.
Майкл Фарадей - основоположник вчення про електромагнітне поле та відіграв визначну роль у розвитку вчення про електромагнітні явища.
Хоча Фарадей отримав скромну формальну освіту і слабо знав вищу математику, зокрема математичний аналіз, він був одним з найвпливовіших вчених в історії; історики науки ставляться до нього як до найкращого експериментатора в історії науки.
Книга англійською, тож це є великою перевагою для тих, хто хоче покращити свої знання мови.

Reviews

[Carol Spears · Rating 2 out of 5]

The writing style was very annoying. A lot of "He was a lovely man and I am going to show you examples in other chapters...."

[Öykü Coşkun · Rating 3 out of 5]

not liked very much. there is nothing about the scientific research areas of Faraday and his studies on them. I expected to find more about his scientific character instead of people in his life and places he has been.
