Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Before atoms had diagrams and fields had equations, Michael Faraday stepped to the lectern and made the invisible feel near. Science made vivid, onstage tonight. Course Of Six Lectures On The Various Forces Of Matter, And Their Relations To Each Other gathers his renowned popular science lectures into a complete lecture collection that moves from everyday matter to the great agents that shape it: gravitation, cohesion, heat and chemical affinity, and the intertwined wonders of electricity and magnetism. Faraday writes with a craftsman's clarity and a showman's pace, turning demonstrations into ideas you can carry away, whether you are revisiting classic physics nonfiction or meeting it for the first time. The result is an inviting, rigorous guide to the forces of matter, grounded in experiment and driven by plain reasoning.Delivered in the spirit of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, these talks sit at the heart of Victorian era science and nineteenth century physics, capturing a moment when modern physics was being invented in public. For physics students reference work, they offer a lucid conceptual map; for history of science readers, they reveal how the language of experiment forged the history of electromagnetism. It belongs beside Darwin and Herschel, a landmark for classic-literature collectors who value scientific prose at its most elegant. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike, for the long shelf-life.
