This is the story of how these two men - separated in age by forty years - discovered the existence of the electromagnetic field and devised a radically new theory which overturned the strictly mechanical view of the world that had prevailed since Newton's time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors, veteran science writers with special expertise in physics and engineering, have created a lively narrative that interweaves rich biographical detail from each man's life with clear explanations of their scientific accomplishments. Faraday was an autodidact, who overcame class prejudice and a lack of mathematical training to become renowned for his acute powers of experimental observation, technological skills, and prodigious scientific imagination. James Clerk Maxwell was highly regarded as one of the most brilliant mathematical physicists of the age. He made an enormous number of advances in his own right. But when he translated Faraday's ideas into mathematical language, thus creating field theory, this unified framework of electricity, magnetism and light became the basis for much of later, 20th-century physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFaraday's and Maxwell's collaborative efforts gave rise to many of the technological innovations we take for granted today - from electric power generation to television, and much more. Told with panache, warmth, and clarity, this captivating story of their greatest work - in which each played an equal part - and their inspiring lives will bring new appreciation to these giants of science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingram Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45953973485804,"sku":"9781633886070","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781633886070.jpg?v=1732947192"},{"product_id":"the-man-who-changed-everything-by-basil-mahon-9780470861714","title":"The Man Who Changed Everything","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first biography in twenty years of James Clerk Maxwell, one of the greatest scientists of our time and yet a man relatively unknown to the wider public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApproaching science with a freshness unbound by convention or previous expectations, he produced some of the most original scientific thinking of the nineteenth century, and his discoveries went on to shape the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Man Who Changed Everything\u003c\/em\u003e offers a detailed exploration of Maxwell's life and work, providing insights into how his innovative ideas transformed the scientific landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855881130220,"sku":"9780470861714","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/17381693482355.jpg?v=1759281772"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/basil-mahon.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
