Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
This is the first of seven volumes of "Experimental Notes" made by Michael Faraday during the years 1820-1862; bequeathed by him to the Royal Institution of Great Britain and known today as "Faraday's Diary"; now republished for the first time since the original printing in 1936 by exclusive arrangement with the Royal Institution; includes the complete 1st edition manuscript edited by Thomas Martin with index, photographs and thousands of illustrations in Faraday's own hand. "Faraday is generally held to be one of the greatest of all experimental philosophers. Nearly every science is in his debt: and some sciences owe their existence mainly to his work. The liquefaction of gases, benzene, electro-magnetic induction, specific inductive capacity, lines of force, 'magnetic conduction' or permeability, the dark discharge, anode, cathode, magneto-optics, electro-chemical equivalent; all these terms suggest fundamental researches which he made, and many of them were called into existence in order to describe his discoveries." --Sir William H. Bragg, Director of the Laboratory of the Royal Institution (1932). The 1st edition is integrated into the seven main volumes of this 2nd edition. Hardcover and electronic editions may be available at www.FaradaysDiary.com. Published by HR Direct: 2420 W. Victorian Way, Riverton, UT 84065, USA. LCCN: 2008932344. The Library of Congress has catalogued the 1936 first edition as: Faraday, Michael, 1791-1867; Faraday's Diary; being the various philosophical notes of experimental investigation made by Michael Faraday...during the years 1820-1862 and bequeathed by him to the Royal Institution of Great Britain, now, by order of the managers, printed and published for the first time, under the editorial supervision of Thomas Martin.
