5.0 out of 5 stars
A great scientific book for and a great moment in science.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume 1 (Kindle Edition)
Considering that Michael Faraday had very little formal education, he is one of the greatest scientists in history. Without him, we wouldn't have a Kindle, let alone things we depend on.
The book itself is top notch - Faraday greatly detailed his experiements, so much that if you had the background and the equipment, you could easily follow his work. If I were in high school, college or a science buff, this book would be a great work to get as a gift - it places you in the scientific mindset of a great scientist. There's very little graphs or diagrams, and mainly the book is a narrative. If you're not a scientist, this book might seem rather boring to you, but I find it fascinating, if not a bit too technical for casual reading.

surprising changes in scientific publication,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume 1 (Kindle Edition)
When one considers that this volume was written by one of the greatest scientists of all time, it is quite surprising to examine the way he approaches the work of documenting his discoveries. It wasn't so very long ago that scientific publication was so loosely governed and composed. When one considers that the science behind the publication was flawless and thorough, one has to be a little taken aback.

Free version from Public Domain is the best version to get 'for the money'.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Experimental Researches in Electricity, Volume 1 (Kindle Edition)
The $2.99 version from Amazon is essentially the same as the free ($0.00) version from publisher 'Public Domain Books' and both have much better formatting than the Einstein Books version which is $0.99. I'm not sure, but it seems that I got both the $2.99 version and the $0.00 version at the same time from Amazon - even though I paid for the $2.99 version. So try to get the free one first since it's formatting is just as good.
(Update after posting review) In fact this review shows up on both of the versions from Amazon - so I got both together.

hope that the progress of science in the hands of its many zealous present cultivators will be such, as by giving us new and other developments, and laws more and more general in their applications, will even make me think that what is written and illustrated in these experimental researches, belongs to the by-gone parts of science.
