The Life And Discoveries Of Michael Faraday is a biography of the famous English scientist Michael Faraday, written by James Arnold Crowther and published in 1920. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Faraday's life, from his humble beginnings as the son of a blacksmith to his rise as one of the most influential scientists of the 19th century. The book covers Faraday's early years, including his apprenticeship with a bookbinder and his introduction to science through attending lectures at the Royal Institution in London. It then delves into his groundbreaking research in the fields of electricity and magnetism, which led to the development of the first electric motor and generator. Throughout the book, Crowther explores Faraday's personal life, including his marriage to Sarah Barnard and his deep religious beliefs, which often conflicted with his scientific discoveries. The book also touches on Faraday's relationships with other notable figures of his time, including Humphry Davy, John Tyndall, and Charles Darwin.Overall, The Life And Discoveries Of Michael Faraday is a fascinating look at the life of one of the most important scientists in history, and provides insight into the scientific and social context of the time in which he lived.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
