MICHAEL FARADAY, by L. Pearce Williams. Faraday (1791-1867) was probably the greatest experimental scientist who ever lived; the first induction of electric current and the first dynamo are among his achievements. In this excellent biography, Author Williams shows how Faraday's almost limitless intelligence emerges and finally flourishes, with only a Sunday-school education and no usable mathematics...
MICHAEL FARADAY, by L. Pearce Williams. Faraday (1791-1867) was, most experts agree, the greatest experimental scientist who ever lived; the first induction of electric current and the first dynamo are among his achievements. In this excellent biography, Author Williams shows how Faraday's almost limitless intelligence emerges and finally flourishes, with only a Sunday-school education and no usable mathematics whatever...
Selling by Computer. This high productivity of marketable ideas would make it seem that Warner-Lambert has long been a dynamo of invention. Actually, 90% of its drug sales come from products more than ten years old, which is practically a century in that business. The line includes such venerable medicaments as Sloan's Liniment, Smith Brothers Cough Drops, Listerine, Rolaids, and Bromo-Seltzer. Warner-Lambert's newer directions are the result of a corporate turn-around wrought by a man who never ran a business before becoming its president eleven years ago: two-term...
...scientific world. His father was a blacksmith, and his education was limited to attendance at Sunday school, but in a lifetime of intellectual labor he transformed himself, most professionals agree, into the greatest experimental scientist who ever lived. He induced the first electric current, developed the first dynamo and with it the possibility of electric power, created the science of electrochemistry and with it a primary implement of modern industry, blasted the first big breach in the Newtonian universe and laid down the foundations of both classical and contemporary field theory...
...human, imperfect and could love. The Mother alone could represent whatever was not Unity; whatever was irregular, exceptional, outlawed; and this was the whole human race." In contrast to the 12th century, the current times seemed increasingly bleak, and in The Education of Henry Adams, he argued that the dynamo had replaced the Virgin as an object of faith...
