Faraday and the Science of Electricity

Before Michael Faraday, no-one knew how to harness the power of electric currents, yet within 15 years of his death there were street lights in cities and homes had electricity. This book describes Faraday's pioneering research, from his early friendship and rivalry with Humphry Davy to the invention of the first electric motor.
