Story5 out of 5 stars 354
Two of the boldest and most creative scientists of all time were Michael Faraday (1791-1867) and James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879). This is the story of how these two men - separated in age by 40 years - discovered the existence of the electromagnetic field and devised a radically new theory which overturned the strictly mechanical view of the world that had prevailed since Newton's time.

A gripping and informative story about the triumphs of Faraday and Maxwell, with anecdotes connecting their work all the way to Einstein. If you want to supplment your study of Electrodynamics with the history of how its principles were concieved. This is a perfect book to look towards. The narrator also has a great voice and cadence that makes this an easy listen.
