Experimental Researches in Electricity.Plates in Pockets

A handsomely-bound facsimile reprint of the three-volume first edition of Faraday's great work on electricity and magnetism. The Experimental Researches in Electricity is a series of articles, originally published in scientific journals, presenting Faraday's work on electricity and magnetism over almost a quarter of a century. In it, Faraday argues masterfully for a radically experimental approach to nature, in the course of which he evolves many of the concepts and terms that have come to be fundamental to our understanding of electricity. Faraday's elegant prose style and his avoidance of mathematics and technical jargon make the work remarkable accessible to all readers, scientists and nonscientists alike.
