Summary: Makes his Unpublished Letters Available
Comment: Michael Faraday ranks today as one of the greatest chemists and physicists of all time. In fact, it was more or less in the era that he lived that physics and chemistry separated as sciences. He may be considered as the last major figure to span both disciplines. He is reputed to have complained that the word "physicist" was so awkward to pronounce, unlike "chemist", which just rolls off the tongue.

The attraction of this book to students and historians of science are the many unpublished letters. Now accessible to a much broader audience. You can get some insight into his mental workings. Plus, his correspondents include some towering figures in 19th century Britain. Isambard Brunel, Charles Babbage and others stride across this book in cameo appearances.
