Synopsis
Elevated to the peerage by Queen Victoria for his many achievements, Sir William Thomson, Lord Kelvin was once Great Britain's most celebrated scientist. In this accessibly written biography, Lindley (an astrophysicist by training) describes Thomson's groundbreaking work in the areas of heat, light, electricity, and magnetism. He also discusses Thomson's refusal to accept the validity of newer discoveries, which eventually led to his ostracism from the scientific community.
