The Philosopher's Tree: Michael Faraday's life and work in his own words
Editorial Reviews
Book Reviews-The Royal Society, September 2000
...an attractive collection that serves well as an introduction to this extraordinary man.
Review
The Philosopher's Tree ... is unique. It uses Faraday's own words about his life and career. And what words!
New Scientist
...a charming and moving insight into the mind of the great man. His commitment to his work, his modesty and his delight in a life of science shine through. Peter Day has provided an excellent and unobtrusive commentary that links these letters and other items together. The result is compelling and I could hardly put the book down.
Education in Chemistry
Many authors have written of Faraday's work and admired them from a respectful distance. Peter Day has done something unique and brought us as close as we can get.
Chemistry & Industry
The author of this very readable and informative compilation is Faraday's successor as the Fullerian Professor of Chemistry in the Royal Institution. In this excellent little book, Professor Day has gracefully effaced himself before his illustrious predecessor, letting him speak to us 'in his own words.' By all means read this book...
