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...
...asks Anatol Rapoport, 54, of the University of Michigan, a leading organizer of teach-ins. Shrugging off the Red infiltrators in Santo Domingo, a Stanford professor of Latin American history allows: "You can find 58 Communists in New York, or San Francisco, or anywhere." Political Scientist Stanley Millet, 48, formerly of Briarcliff College, goes so far as to argue that "terror on our side accounts for all that has happened in Viet...
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...
...ship was a space scientist's dream laboratory-crammed to capacity. Its four panel blades shone purple from the thin sapphire-glass coating that protects their 28,224 tiny solar cells from radiation damage. Its silvery octagonal body, made of magnesium and aluminum alloy, carried 138,000 components, including 31,696 delicate electronic components ranging from a computer to a small, lO½-watt radio transmitter. It was programmed and equipped to send to Earth a continuous stream of reports on 39 scientific and 90 engineering measurements. Crowded into the spacecraft were a new type of helium gas magnetometer...
Michael Faraday (1791-1867) is an everlasting wonder of the 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...
