Considered the 'father of electricity', Michael Faraday is one of the best known scientific figures of all time, probably second only to Isaac Newton.
This Very Short Introduction places Faraday in the context of his time. From his humble beginnings in Yorkshire and Westmorland to his work at London's Royal Institution, James explores Faraday's attitude towards religion, key theoretical ideas, his approach to studying the natural world, and his reputation.
